Apprenticeship Program at MSJC
Apprenticeship is a modern, formal career education pathway. The student-apprentice is hired by the employing company, receives instruction overseen by a mentor within the company, attends prescribed classes at MSJC, receives wages commensurate with progress in learning, is registered with the California Department of Apprenticeship Standards, receives a certificate from that Agency after completing the program, and begins a career with a solid foundation.
Our Mission
