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
The mission of the Apprenticeship program at Mt. San Jacinto College is to build robust partnerships between the college, employers, and the community to develop and expand earn-and-learn programs. We aim to provide students with applied learning experiences that launch them into family sustaining careers while meeting local industry talent needs. Our team is dedicated to ensuring apprenticeships equitable, inclusive and accessible for all.
