Past Events
CAC Training Funds Information Session
The California Apprenticeship Council Training Funds have expanded from $3 million to $20 million annually. To manage this funding increase, we have migrated to an electronic application and reimbursement process through the California Outreach Rapid Deployment (CORD) platform. This information session guides you through the new process to ensure your program is ready to submit their application before the November deadline.
In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week 2022, DAS hosted a webinar where representatives from Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and two dental offices spoke about their experience employing apprentices and how apprenticeship is a critical component of their talent solution.
Hosted by DAS for the seventh annual National Apprenticeship Week, this virtual event honored women in apprenticeship. Adele Burnes, DAS Deputy Chief, moderated a conversation discussing how California is shaping inclusive 21st century apprenticeships.
