Pre-apprenticeship students at American River College will be given priority on the

enrollment list for apprenticeship openings

Apprenticeship is formal occupational training that combines paid

employment, on-the-job training and job related college level instruction.

American River College apprenticeship instructors are college faculty; apprenticeship coursework earns college credit that can lead to an A.S. Degree.

Infrastructure pre-apprenticeship promotes student success while building and meeting the state’s workforce needs.

Often apprenticeship programs lose up to 50% of their apprentices in the first year. This is due to students not being adequately prepared for the workforce

However, students completing pre-apprenticeship show increased retention and success in formal apprenticeship training

American River College is the Local Education Agency for the following apprenticeship training programs:

●Carpenters ●Drywall/Lathers ●Sheet Metal Workers●Iron Workers ●Electricians ●Work Experience for
