Apprenticeship Programs
Bay Area Community Colleges
The Bay Region consists of 28 community colleges, most of which have at least one Registered Apprenticeship program approved by the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) or US Department of Labor (DOL). In 2023-24, the region approved funding to research Apprenticeships, and that information can be found on our Regional Joint Venture (RJV) page. The region is represented and supported by John Dunn, the BACCC Regional Director of Apprenticeship and is a founding member of the Northern California Apprenticeship Network (NCAN).
If you are interested in seeing more Apprenticeship data broken down by occupation/industry sector, use our Apprenticeship Map (updated May 2023) to see what is in your area. It can also be found by clicking the Resources tab above.
