3. CA Apprenticeship System • Apprenticeship is “Learn while you Earn” or “Learning by Doing” • Considered “post secondary” education • Includes a classroom component and… • On the job training component • No cost to the apprentice (books/tools perhaps) • But students must have perseverance, ambition, and initiative.

4. CA Apprenticeship System (cont.) • Operates under apprenticeship training standards. • The joint apprenticeship committee determines the standards and supervises the training of apprentices. • Oversight by Division of Apprenticeship Standards (Department of Industrial Relations).

5. Funding • A partnership among industry, labor, education, and government. • Industry funded and industry driven. • Related and Supplemental Instruction (RSI) costs for classroom instruction are supported by annual appropriation in Budget Act, administered by CCCCO.

9. Goal of AB86 Planning – Apprenticeship Readiness • Regional Plans should be based on transitioning adults into apprenticeship programs by integrating apprenticeship concepts into the five Adult Education curriculum areas.

10. Goal of AB86 Planning - Apprenticeship Readiness (cont). • The idea is not to fund apprenticeship programs, but for each consortium to focus their plan on transition and integration. • The outcome is to ensure adult students will be able to transition into an apprenticeship program. • The planning process should focus on providing all adult learners with the skills, knowledge, and understanding that will help expand their opportunities for gainful employment and open as many pathways as possible into apprenticeship.

11. AB86 Tables – First the Facts • Fact – Apprenticeship data is difficult to obtain. • Fact – there may not be an apprenticeship connection in your region. • Fact – sponsors/partners may not disclose sources of funding and operational costs. • Fact – enroll data may be not be easy to find if you are working with the local provider.

12. AB 86 Tables But what about the tables? • If your region does not have a relationship with an apprenticeship fiscal agent and/or sponsor – no need to contact them. • Note this gap in the narrative of your plan. • If you do have a relationship with apprenticeship programs – please enter as much data as you can in the tables (where applicable). • See recently released funding data by LEA & College along with Sponsor & Occupation information (AB86 website).

13. Reporting on AB 86 – the narrative (objective #1) • Tables 1.1A, 1.1B, 1.2 - narrative focus on consortium’s current services and programs. • If you don’t have any current apprenticeship services, document your pre-apprenticeship programs that focuses on student transition & integration. • Look at services that help adult students transition into an apprenticeship program.

14. Reporting on AB 86 – the narrative (objective #2) • Evaluation of current needs - including needs that are currently unmet. • If the apprenticeship programs are in another region – how many students use them? • Are students meeting the program requirements? Are they ready to transition? Do they have the tools to be successful? • Do members & partners have apprenticeship connections? • And don’t forget about pre-apprenticeship.

15. Reporting on AB 86 – the narrative (objective #4) • Addresses the gaps identified from objectives #1 & #2. • Gaps would be the lack of providers, services, access, attainment, and performance. • Narrative would include strategies to increase capacity in gap areas. • Make sure you complete the work plan (table 4.1).

16. Resources • AB 86 website – Helpful Resources (spreadsheet) • Apprenticeship Standards – State Agency • Chancellor’s Office Web Page - Apprenticeship • “I Built It” video campaign • Helmets to Hardhats • Wounded Warrior
