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.
