1. Apprenticeship Standards

Information Technology (IT) Subcommittee

California Apprenticeship Council Join us for our next meeting

Welcome!

The Interagency Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship (IACA) Information Technology (IT) Subcommittee aims to increase the number of registered apprenticeship programs in California and ensure that they are inclusive of people from marginalized backgrounds. We bring together stakeholders from across the state to identify barriers, share best practices, and promote equitable access to high-quality apprenticeship opportunities for all.

If you’re interested in learning more about registered apprenticeships, exploring strategies for inclusion, or sharing the work of your program, we invite you to attend one of our upcoming meetings.
