ETAJ has received federal grant funding to expand their adult pre-apprenticeship program into Clay County. This MOU would allow for ClayACE and ETAJ to partner together and offer a state registered electrical pre-apprenticeship program to the adult citizens of Clay and the surrounding counties at no-cost to the school district. CCDS-ACE will manage the program and provide classroom space. ETAJ will provide the instructor, curriculum, technology, supplies and materials (detailed outline of cost is included in MOU).

The goal of this partnership is to help post-secondary pre-apprenticeship students enrolled in this program achieve proficiency in the ETAJ curriculum, enhancing their chances of securing a preferred interview and advanced placement in the ETAJ apprenticeship program upon graduation or successful program completion.

This will establish a partnership between ClayACE and ETAJ to provide an adult pre-apprenticeship program registered through the State of Florida Apprenticeship Registration Agency.
