At MCC, our apprenticeships provide a structured training program to combine hands-on work experience with advanced learning opportunities. Collaborating with industry partners, we develop the curriculum you need to enter the workforce and jumpstart your new career as soon as possible.

As a student in the program, you will:

  • Build relevant skills employers are looking for
  • Earn money in your chosen field
  • Take advantage of low-cost and free program pathways
  • Learn about workplace culture firsthand
  • Access MCC’s student support services, tutoring and academic and career advising

As an employer partner, you will:

  • Have access to and develop highly skilled employees
  • Reduce turnover rates, increase productivity, and lower the cost of recruitment
  • Support your employees’ on-the-job learning with the help of an experienced mentor
  • Create a stable and reliable pipeline of qualified workers.

 

Earn your dental assisting certificate at little to no cost while working in the field with MCC’s one-year dental assisting apprenticeship.

You will be able to:

  • Begin working as a chairside dental assistant within weeks of starting the program
  • Learn more advanced skills as you go that can be applied to work
  • Receive a nationally recognized credential upon taking the Dental Assisting National Board exam

You will take classes at MCC on Mondays and Fridays while working part-time in a dental office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the year. You will also receive one or more incremental wage increases during your time in the program.

Are you a currently employed school paraprofessional? Take classes toward MCC’s two-year associate degree program while working full-time at one of our partner school districts.

MCC’s program:

  • Provides you with the guidance, knowledge, skills and confidence to be a successful educator
  • Allows you to complete your associate degree in two years at no cost
  • Prepares you to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program leading to Mass. elementary or secondary teacher licensure
  • Qualifies you for MassTransfer, guaranteeing credit transfer to Mass. state universities and the UMass system

Choose from online, hybrid, weekend and evening class options. Coursework directly relates to your experience working in the classroom.

*Graduates of MCC’s Elementary Education Apprenticeship program will transfer to a four-year institution to continue their studies toward a bachelor's and then a master's degree as required for the Mass. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) teacher licensure.

MCC currently partners with Lowell and Salem public school districts and will be expanding soon.
