Learn & Earn: Apprenticeship Programs @ SCC
Want to get paid while you practice a profession? Santiago Canyon College's apprenticeship programs are a great way to gain practical skills while earning a solid paycheck. Ranging in length from two to five years, these programs give students a chance to make a living while getting on-the-job training under the supervision of accomplished professionals in their fields.
The best part: for every apprentice level you complete, you get a raise!
In addition, SCC apprentices are required to attend classes which provide supplemental instruction directly related to their fields. The good news: these classes are free and count towards college credit.
Upon successful completion, apprentices are issued a “Certificate of Completion" by the State of California, which officially designates the apprentice as a skilled
journeyworker.
Depending on the program, students may also be eligible for a higher-level degree or certificate at no extra cost. For example, completing the 3-year Carpentry-Framing Apprenticeship not only satisfies requirements for a Certificate of Achievement, but also satisfies major requirements for an Associate of Science degree in Framing.
