The San Diego AGC Apprenticeship and Training Trust is designed to meet the needs of AGC
members who are interested in providing training and education for their jobsite employees.
The program is approved by the state Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) and the federal
Department of Labor. Apprentices graduate in two to four years and are certified by the AGC, the
State of California, and the U.S. Department of Labor. The completion certificates are recognized
throughout the nation as valid indicators that an apprentice has completed training that meets the
industry’s standards of occupational
proficiency.
The AGC Apprenticeship is celebrating
30 years of continuous improvement
and expansion to exceed member
contractors’ training needs.
The Training Trust has responded
to new California skilled workforce
regulations by conducting record
numbers of classes and certifications.
The results can be clearly seen when
you review the Apprenticeship’s 2017
graduation data.
The Trust is proud to report that 213
apprentices graduated in 2017. This
is an all-time program record and it
doubles the yearly average number
graduating for the past eight years.
The AGC Apprenticeship program
completion rates, on average,
continue to lead competing California
apprenticeship craft programs.
Apprenticeship facilities have been operating at capacity in San Diego, Riverside, and Santa Ana. However,
more training facilities are being acquired.
For example:

• The Riverside facility has also added over 1,000 sq. ft. of classroom space. The Trustees
have been actively searching for at least four additional acres of training land in Riverside.
• In San Diego - The Training Trust has leased new acreage in East County and it looks
forward to building the new AGC Chapter / Apprenticeship joint-use Training Campus.
