Spanish Transition
Program
The goal of the Spanish Transition
Program is to teach the Spanish-speaking workforce in Maricopa County basic
construction safety and electrical safety in Spanish, and to offer basic adult
education classes for students who do not have a high school diploma or GED. The
program will also give students basic construction-skills training and basic
electrical-skills training in both English and Spanish. Upon completion of the
one-year program, students will have the necessary trade language and trade
skills required in order to enroll in and to succeed in English-only electrical
craft-training and electrical apprenticeship programs.
The one-year Spanish Transition
Program (two 4-month semesters) will consist of approximately 10 community
college credits of instruction in basic adult education, English as a Second
Language (ESL) training, basic construction safety and electrical safety
training, basic construction-skills training, basic electrical-skills training,
and "soft-skills" training. Tuition and registration fees for the program will
be in line with current Maricopa Community College rates. Electrical safety and
electrical-skills courses are credited by GateWay Community College in Phoenix.
Program costs are $795 per semester (20 weeks of training).
