ApprenticeshipSan Joaquin Delta College has been affiliated with apprenticeship programs providing Related and Supplemental Instruction (RSI) for over 50 years. Programs are designed as part of the State of California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) Apprenticeship Program Standards for the particular apprenticeship occupation. The apprenticeship courses are available only to apprentices who are indentured to a particular apprenticeship committee/program as governed by the State of California Division of Apprenticeship Standards, JATC, and the California Community College Chancellor's Office. Apprenticeship programs are designed so that an employer hires the apprentice, and the apprentice increases his/her occupational skills and knowledge while receiving On-The-Job Training (OJT). The apprentice attends specific apprenticeship courses (RSI) provided or administered by Delta College. The apprentice's educational program and OJT are under the direction of the Apprenticeship Committee. Apprenticeship programs vary from two to five years in length. San Joaquin Delta College provides or administers apprenticeship classes (RSI) for the following programs: Automotive and Related Trades
Electrical Trades
Department of Water Resources
Machinist
Plumbers and Pipe Fitters
Unilateral Programs
The apprentice will be recommended for a Journey Level Certificate issued by the State of California Division of Apprenticeship Standards when the apprentice completes the required apprenticeship courses, meets the minimum number of OJT hours working with an approved employer, and has positive employer evaluations. Some apprenticeship programs also offer national certification and recognition for reaching journey level. Many of the apprentices awarded Journey Level Certificates also earn a Delta College Certificate or Associate in Science degree.
