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, the 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 such as the James Irvine Foundation. This funding enables us to offer top-tier training at no cost to you, helping you acquire the skills necessary to launch 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.
