Registered program Apprenticeship applications closed

What families should know

A San Diego registered cybersecurity pathway whose official page says apprenticeship applications are currently closed unless the applicant already has an employer placement; a separate cybersecurity training form remains open.

Decision facts

What we could verify

Registration confirms a program relationship. It does not, by itself, confirm that an employer is currently accepting apprentices.

Service area: San Diego-area applicants; confirm current funding, training-seat, and employer availability with CAREERworks.
Listed sponsor location: San Diego, CA This is the sponsor listing, not necessarily the work site.
Delivery mode: Not verified
Who the verified information describes: Apprenticeship applicants ages 18-24 who already have an employer placement; separate cybersecurity training serves broader workforce categories.
Eligibility: Be between ages 18 and 24 with a high school diploma or equivalent for the apprenticeship track
Have legal authorization to work in the United States
Already have an employer placement while general apprenticeship applications remain closed
Confirm the current background-screening requirement
Compensation: Apprenticeship compensation was not published; the separate cybersecurity program describes paid and unpaid internships, not a guaranteed paid apprenticeship.
Duration: The page describes 10-12 weeks of apprenticeship technical training; the registered on-the-job term was not verified.
Credential: Apprenticeship preparation includes CompTIA A+ and Security+; the separate cybersecurity training program also lists CySA+.

Next action

What happens next

Do not use the general training interest form as an apprenticeship application. Review the official page and proceed only if CAREERworks confirms the apprenticeship has reopened or you already have an employer placement.

Fit and tradeoffs

Questions to resolve before applying

General apprenticeship applications are currently closed unless the applicant already has an employer placement.
The open interest form belongs to the separate cybersecurity training program, which includes paid and unpaid internships rather than a guaranteed apprenticeship.
