MSJC Career Education has launched an apprenticeship program for the automotive industry in the region.

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 an industry-recognized credential after completing the program, and begins a career with a solid foundation.

The program is sponsored by the LAUNCH Apprenticeship Network, the experienced organization that supports collaboration between industry participants and community colleges throughout the Inland Empire and desert region. Programs already exist for apprenticeships in advanced manufacturing and other areas. MSJC plans to expand the program for other career pathways in 2021.
