For Skilled-Trades Employers

COCC helps local companies grow and train their workforce. 

As your local community college, COCC partners with industry groups, educational programs, and community agencies to best meet the workforce needs of our region. One important way we support Central Oregon’s industries, employers, and workers is through apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship opportunities.  
 
Based on our Redmond campus with a mobile training unit available, COCC’s Apprentice offerings provide more than a skilled worker pipeline. We develop partnerships with companies and programs to identify emerging industry trends and needs, while keeping training current and comprehensive. Through our Pre-apprenticeship and Apprenticeship programs, we can help you staff up or retool your company’s team with newly trained skilled workers in a range of specialties.  
 
Apprenticeship at COCC has also developed proven partnerships to help local schools and organizations grow their skilled trade training, articulating with curriculums and bringing students extensive hands-on expertise. We place a special focus on serving the underserved, making sure that students of all backgrounds have access to these vital sectors of education.
