Apprenticeships
Balancing coursework and employment can be a significant challenge for many community college students, with approximately 70% working while enrolled and nearly 30% working full-time.1 In comparison, only about 12% of four-year university students work throughout their entire college experience.2
Registered apprenticeships offer a compelling solution by integrating hands-on experience with academic learning, enabling students to earn a living wage while pursuing their degrees. These programs help students transition from a job to a career, equipping them with industry recognized skills that complement their educational and career goals.
This successful training model, traditionally used in the building trades, is now expanding into innovative fields. With support from the California Apprenticeship Initiative, Cañada College has developed a pathway to apprenticeship and is proud to offer a pre-apprenticeship program in Early Childhood Education.
