Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (CLPCCD) and the Tri-Valley Career Center (TVCC) are excited to host their first Apprenticeship Career Fair November 16, 3-6 p.m. at the CLPCCD Pleasanton offices in celebration of the 8th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW).

The U.S. Department of Labor established NAW to celebrate Registered Apprenticeship programs' significant impact in rebuilding our economy, advancing racial and gender equity, building a pipeline to good, quality jobs and supporting underserved communities.

Participants can meet with representatives from various traditional and non-traditional apprenticeship programs, including healthcare, cybersecurity, childcare and the construction trades. There will be programs from Las Positas College (LPC) and Chabot College (Chabot), as well as non-CLPCCD affiliated programs. All are welcome to attend and there is no experience needed.

Whether seeking a fresh start, a better job, or a new career path, this free apprenticeship career fair offers job seekers many exciting opportunities.
