Funds were utilized for staff support, including for Chaffey College’s Apprenticeship Coordinator, Workforce Development Coordinator and the Program Director. These roles are crucial for growing apprenticeship at Chaffey and in the region: the Apprenticeship Coordinator registers employers and apprentices, tracks work processes, wage schedules and trainings, and works with employers to host quarterly apprenticeship meetings; the Workforce Development Coordinator meets with new employers to identify and assess their needs, as well as encourage them to sign up for apprenticeships; and the Program Director is responsible for growing the existing registered apprenticeship occupations and identifying employer/workforce trends to potentially add more occupations to the DAS-registered apprenticeship program.
