Apprenticeships in the Trades in
CALIFORNIA
• An apprentice is an employee who
receives an hourly wage and other
benefits while learning a craft/trade.
• The vast majority of training occurs
on-the-job, and is supplemented by
classroom instruction.
• The apprentice works side-by-side
with an experienced craftsperson or
"journeyperson."
• Employers (management) and
Workers (labor) join together to
design the length and structure of
apprentice training in the particular
trade.
Apprenticeships in the Trades in
CALIFORNIA (cont.)
• One of the first questions everyone asks
when they consider a career as a
tradesperson is “Can I Make A Good
Living?” The answer is a resounding Yes.
You can make a very good living in all of
the trades. More importantly, you get
paid while you are in training. Depending
on the career path you choose your
apprenticeship training will take from 3 to
5 years of on-the-job training and
classroom instruction. While in training,
your starting union wage may range from
$9 to $14 per hour. Once you have
completed your training you can earn $30
per hour or more depending on the
trade. The pay scale will depend on your
specific trade, the area where you work
and the collective bargaining agreement
in your area that would include health and
pension benefits.

Apprenticeships
AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE
• 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.

Apprenticeships
AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE
• 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.

CONSERVATION CORPS
WHAT IS THE CCC?
• The California Conservation Corps is a state agency hiring young men
and women, 18 to 25, for a year of natural resource work and
emergency response. Simply stated, the CCC puts youth and the
environment together to benefit both.
• More formally, the CCC's mission is to engage young men and
women in meaningful work, public service and educational activities
that assist them in becoming more responsible citizens, while
protecting and enhancing California's environment, human resources
and communities.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN?
• Young people join the CCC for many reasons -- to work outdoors, live
away from home, earn a paycheck, advance their education, gain
experience and basic skills, explore careers, do something for the
environment, meet new people and go new places.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
WHO CAN JOIN THE CCC?
• The CCC is for young men and women ages 18 to 25. Almost
everyone can benefit from a year in the Corps, and California
benefits from their work. Openings are available year-round.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN?
• Besides age, there are just a few requirements, such as,
applicants must not be on parole or formal probation, and
must be interested in working outdoors. There are no
restrictions as to income level or education.
• Those who meet the basic requirements work with a local
recruiter and CCC staff during the application and training
process, which includes fingerprinting, a physical exam and
completion of a one-week orientation class.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
HOW LONG IS THE PROGRAM?
• The CCC is basically a one-year program, although
corpsmembers can leave at any time. Those who successfully
complete a year are eligible for the CCC scholarship and are
eligible to take advantage of additional Corps opportunities.
HOW MUCH DO CORPSMEMBERS EARN?
• They receive minimum wage, $8.00 per hour, with cash
bonuses after working a specified number of hours. Those who
train to become crew leaders or specialists can earn extra
pay. At residential centers, $300 is deducted each month for
room and board.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
WHAT KIND OF WORK DO CORPSMEMBERS DO?
• Corpsmembers take on a variety of outdoor work, including
landscaping, trail building, tree planting, brush clearance,
minor construction work, wildlife habitat improvement, flood
prevention and more.
• The CCC responds to natural disasters and other emergencies
so corpsmembers may find themselves sandbagging against
floods, fighting fires, assisting with oil spill cleanup or helping
with earthquake recovery.
• There are also special programs for those with good work
records, including the Backcountry Trails Program, the Salmon
Restoration Program and the Australian Work Exchange.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
HOW HARD IS THE WORK?
• While corpsmembers must be willing to work hard, most find
they can accomplish the task at hand by giving it their best
effort. Corpsmembers work on crews and learn that teamwork
is often the best means of achieving success on the job.
WHAT PERSONAL QUALITIES ARE IMPORTANT FOR CORPSMEMBERS?
• Corpsmembers need to be willing to work hard and see a job
through to the end. They must be willing to accept
responsibility, develop good work habits and demonstrate
punctuality and dependability. They must be able to get along
well with all kinds of people.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
WHAT ABOUT TRAINING AND EDUCATION?
• Corpsmembers receive initial training during their first week's
orientation to the Corps as trainees; additional training is
provided throughout their stay, both on-the-job and in the
classroom. All corpsmembers learn proper tool use and safety;
there are also opportunities for further instruction and
certification in first aid and CPR, chain saw work, cooking, and
numerous internships.
• Along with their day-to-day work projects, corpsmembers
work to advance their education. For those without high
school diplomas, the Muir Charter School and adult education
providers offer instruction to earn diplomas or GEDs. Several
hundred corpsmembers earn their diplomas or GEDs in the
CCC each year.
(continued on next page)
CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS (CONT.)
WHAT ABOUT TRAINING AND EDUCATION?
• All corpsmembers take classes
in "Conservation Awareness"
and "Career Development."
The first course emphasizes
environmental principles and
the "why" behind the work they
do. The second prepares
corpsmembers for employment
after the CCC, and they learn
about job applications,
interviews, resumes and basic
employment skills.
