Apprenticeships

Apprenticeship is equal parts education and employment. Students enroll in courses and earn college credit, while at the same time working on the job with employer partners. The California Apprenticeship Initiative is taking this proven model of training mostly found in the construction trades and applying it to new industries. Cañada College is developing programs in both Extended Reality and Digital Marketing.  

The pathway is currently two stages: pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship. A student who successfully completes the introductory pre-apprenticeship course can apply for a full apprenticeship.

For both programs, we will be enrolling students in pre-apprenticeship courses for the spring semester 2025. Information will be posted on this site as it becomes available.
