No-Cost Entry-Level Training Opportunities for Prospective Students

At the Chaffey College InTech Center, we offer no-cost entry-level training programs to qualified students, made possible through generous funding from state, federal, and private grants. These grants include support from the Department of Apprenticeship Standards California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship grant, Local and Regional Strong Workforce Grants, San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funds, and private donors like the James Irvine Foundation. This funding allows us to provide top-tier training at no cost to you, helping you gain the skills needed to start a successful career.

However, our programs are often tailored to serve specific populations based on the funding sources, which means we may not always be able to accommodate every applicant. To get started, we invite you to attend a mandatory information session.

During this session, you will:

• Learn about our training programs: Get detailed information about the various training opportunities available to you.
• Understand the funding requirements: Learn about what documentation is required of secure funding for your training.
• Complete assessments: You will take a basic reading and math assessment.
• Participate in an interview: You will complete a short interview with an InTech staff member.

• Join an InTech training program; or
• Be provided with alternative options.
