Equal Opportunity Pledge:

Carpenters Training Trust Fund for Northern California/Carpenters Training Committee for Northern California, as a sponsor, will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years or older.

Carpenters Training Trust Fund for Northern California/Carpenters Training Committee for Northern California, as a sponsor, will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30, and equal employment opportunity regulations of the State of California.

Your Right to Equal Opportunity

It is against the law for a sponsor of an apprenticeship program registered for Federal purposes to discriminate against an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years or older. The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions, and privileges associated with apprenticeship.
