The Machinist Apprenticeship Program is designed for individuals hired as new apprentices by member employers of the Stanislaus County Area Manufacturing and Maintenance Joint Apprenticeship Committee. The program is composed of 576 hours of classroom and lab instruction and 8,000 hours of on-the-job training and is approximately 4 years in length. The program is designed so that the employer hires the apprentice, and the apprentice increases his/her occupational skills and knowledge through On-The-Job Training (OJT) at the employer site while attending specific college courses approved as related supplemental instruction (RSI) at Modesto Junior College. Students interested in more information about the program should contact the MJC Technical Education Office for a listing of member employers.
