Career Apprenticeship Readiness Program Application

Colleagues,

San Diego Continuing Education's (@SDCE) program for opportunity youth, San Diego Gateway to College and Career (@SDG2CC), is excited to share with information on recruitment for SDCE's new 12-week Apprenticeship Readiness Program beginning mid-March. We are launching this new program in partnership with the San Diego Building and Construction Trades Council, which represents 22 local skilled trade labor unions. Please help SDCE to place our students in union jobs! We are accepting applications now! We need your help to recruit rockstar students!

WIth generous support from the San Diego Workforce Partnership, the Irvine Foundation, the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, and the City of San Diego, this program will provide an introduction to the trades and on-site construction internships for 24 qualified candidates including regulation safety gear, boots, hard hat, and tool belt for every participant. We are seeking enthusiastic applicants who qualify as low income, who are 18-24 years old, and who reside in the City of San Diego. There is so much opportunity for jobs in the skilled trades today and particularly for women.  I hope that you will share the attached flyer and send us young adults who you know might be interested in this great opportunity to learn and earn.

San Diego Gateway to College and Career is a program of the SDCE Foundation and empowers opportunity youth to achieve emotional, social, and financial sustainability, and well-being in their lives. We are committed to alleviating youth disconnection by creating a compassionate educational community that provides individualized and intensive support, wrap around services, guided pathways to college and career, employment driven learning opportunities, and subsidized work experience.  We are located on the ECC campus.

Please feel free to contact SDG2CC Executive Director, Dr. Laurie Coskey, at lcoskey@sdccd.edu or on her cell at 858.231.9933 if you have any questions.

Have a great spring semester!

Regards,
