In Moreno Valley, California, apprenticeship programs are typically registered and funded through state and federal agencies while local offices provide guidance and referrals. This guide explains how employers and training sponsors can register an apprenticeship, pursue public funding or incentives, comply with applicable rules, and where to get local help in Moreno Valley.

Overview
Apprenticeship registration for classroom- and work-based training is handled at the state level by the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) and at the federal level through the U.S. Department of Labor's Registered Apprenticeship system. Moreno Valley employers should coordinate with these agencies and with local workforce partners for funding, recruitment, and program design. Many public funding streams require an approved training plan and a registered program.
How employers register an apprenticeship
- Prepare an apprenticeship standard or training agreement describing duration, related instruction, and competency objectives.
- Submit a registration packet to the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards or apply via the federal Registered Apprenticeship portal as applicable California DAS[1].
- Pursue state funding opportunities such as competitive apprenticeship grants where available; verify eligibility and deadlines with the administering agency.
- Coordinate with local workforce development partners or community colleges in Moreno Valley for recruitment and supportive services.
Funding sources and incentives
