This informational session is intended to orient interested individuals regarding the Northern California Construction Inspectors Apprenticeship. Additionally, completion of an orientation is required for all applicants to this program.

After completing this orientation, participants will be able to…

  • Explain the nature of the apprenticeship
  • Identify the role of inspection in the building and construction trades
  • Describe the duties of an engineering technician and its relationship to inspection work
  • Evaluate the most common difficulties faced by apprentice inspectors
  • Identify the steps applicants must complete to enter the apprenticeship

At the completion of this orientation, an application for this apprenticeship will be provided to participants.

Expectations:

  • Those registering for this orientation are required to attend.
    • Please be considerate when registering as seating is limited and your registration may deny someone else the ability to attend this event.
    • Due to high rates of absenteeism, those who register and fail to attend for any reason will be barred from attending any orientation for a period of three months. Cancellations for this event will not be accepted.
  • Participants must register for this event in their own name, using the name appearing on their photo identification.
    • Completing an orientation is mandatory for entry into the program, so applications are checked against orientation attendance logs.
  • This session will be held online via Zoom. As a result, participants will require the following items:
    • A free account from Zoom.us
      • Each participant must use an account registered in their own name and that matches the name on their photo identification as applications are checked against attendance logs.
      • Participants may not use an account registered to another person.
    • A web-capable computer with a webcam and microphone
      • A reasonably sized tablet may serve this purpose, but not a smartphone.
      • Each participant must use their own device, Zoom session logs will be used as part of documenting attendance.
      • Please ensure your hardware is working as intended well in advance of the meeting as there will not be time to troubleshoot hardware issues during the event.
  • Participants must be on time. Late admission will not be allowed.
    • Really. Meeting times are not approximate, an orientation scheduled to begin at 6 PM will begin precisely at 6 PM and individuals arriving after that moment will not be granted access to the meeting. Zoom allows participants to log in early and we encourage all participants to do so.
  • Participants will be expected to be on camera and engaged with the orientation material for the duration
    • Participants found to be not paying attention, on their phones, or otherwise absentee will be removed from the orientation.
