WORKFORCE HOMEPAGE














APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
Apprenticeship is a training method that combines paid full-time work experience with classroom related instruction and is a joint effort between SJRCC and an industry sponsor. Apprentices also attend class in the evening, depending upon the program. Program length varies from three to four years

Apprenticeship program tuition is FREE, and apprentices get paid for their work during the cooperative portion of the program! Students only need to purchase books and supplies.

DID YOU KNOW? Apprentices who attain a vocational certificate in a registered apprenticeship program are eligible to receive college credit toward an Associate in Science degree in Industrial Management Technology at St. Johns River Community College.
