Apprenticeship

Electrician and apprentice.

Apprenticeship courses are designed for indentured apprentices under the Shelley-Maloney California Apprenticeship Standards Act.

The Apprentice Agreement states that the student will supplement on-the-job training with related classroom instruction during each year of apprenticeship.

Joint Apprenticeship Committees (JAC) administering each program are composed of representation from labor, management, California State Division of Apprenticeship Standards, and Bakersfield College. These committees adopt state approved standards for operation and assure equal opportunity for applicants. Related training in apprenticeable occupations, in addition to those listed below, may be offered as the need arises.

For information on apprenticeship programs, application process, or a list of approved courses contact the Bakersfield College Apprenticeship Department at (661) 395-4408 or apprenticeship@bakersfieldcollege.edu for further information.
