APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS AT SJRCC
    Apprenticeship is a training method that combines paid full-time work experience with classroom related instruction and is a joint effort between SJRCC and an industry sponsor. Apprentices also attend class in the evening, depending upon the program. Program length varies from three to four years.

    Apprenticeship program tuition is FREE, and apprentices get paid for their work during the cooperative portion of the program! Students only need to purchase books and supplies.
