ARC offers, in cooperation with the carpenters, drywall/lathers, electricians, ironworkers, and sheet metal unions, a number of apprenticeship programs (most of which can lead to an Associates of Arts degree).  These programs are approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the California Department of Industrial Relations.

    An apprenticeship program is a formal system of occupational training that takes from two to five years, combines well paid full-time employment, on-the-job training, and job related college level instruction.  At completion, an apprentice becomes a Journeyperson and can earn up to $27.00 per hour plus an excellent benefit package that includes health insurance and retirement. 

   And best of all, anyone can apply for these apprenticeship programs.  All you need is a high school diploma or G.E.D. (the electricians require a year of algebra) fill out the applications, take a test (if required), pass the interview process, and have a strong desire to work hard.  If you have what it takes, you'll enter a well paying career field.
