Apprenticeship Programs in Early Care and Education


Meet our Apprentice Team!

Launched in 2024, the Together Rising Los Angeles (TRLA) apprenticeship program is another innovative initiative and the first registered apprenticeship in Southern California for early childhood educators and expanded learning teacher pathways. This program nurtures the next generation of education professionals by providing participants with paid, hands-on learning and mentoring while they complete coursework at East Los Angeles College (ELAC). Graduates are eligible to obtain a California Child Development Teacher Permit, building a stronger foundation for the future of education.
