Off-Site Training

The Northern California Laborers Apprenticeship Program is designed to provide
the best of construction education and on-the-job training (OJT) to apprentices.
Because proper training and safety habits are so important on today's construction
sites, Laborer apprentices start their careers by spending four weeks at our training
center in San Ramon. There, they learn basic construction skills before they are
dispatched to their first construction site. Apprentices receive hands-on training in
asphalt, concrete and pipe.

The instructors at the center get them familiar with the tools and techniques they
will be using while teaching them safety procedures. Apprentices leave the training
center with the knowledge and confidence that will help them be successful. After
apprentices have gained some work experience, they return
to San Ramon for additional required training.

Unlike other programs which may last up to 4 or 5 years, the Laborer apprentice
graduates to journeyman status after just 3000 hours of OJT (usually completed
in under two years) and six weeks of skills training at the training center. With this
behind them, they have what it takes to have a successful career as a
Construction Craft Laborer.
