Operating in a 14-county region, the MC3 Apprenticeship Readiness Training Program prepares individuals for high-paying and stable careers in the building and construction trades. The purpose of the program is to provide skilled training to unemployed, underemployed, and barriered individuals in the construction sector.
ValleyBuild is a registered program with the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
The ValleyBuild Apprenticeship Readiness Program consists of an intensive six-week, full-time, MC3-certified training in partnership with local BTCs, providing hands-on skills training. Participants receive industry-recognized certificates such as OSHA 10, CPR/1st Aid, forklift, and hazardous waste awareness. Wrap-around job services such as physical training, resume development, mock interviewing, and supportive services are provided by the FRWDB to ensure a high rate of employment for students upon graduation.
In partnership with local area Workforce Development Boards, participants receive assistance with vocational training, resume development, job searching, and job placement, all provided by Workforce Connection.
