Careers in the Trades & Apprenticeship Programs ~ Earn While you Learn
The Santa Rosa Junior College Apprenticeship Program conducts, in cooperation with industry, a number of apprenticeship programs. An apprenticeship program is a formal system of occupational training from one to five years that combines paid employment, on-the-job training, and job related college instruction in order to develop skilled workers. Enrollment in an apprenticeship course is limited to registered apprentices. Information on admission to apprenticeship status can be obtained from the local trade in which you are interested, or from the SRJC Department of Career Education and Economic Development.
