Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) began its Fall 2020 semester on Monday, Aug. 17, with thousands of students enrolled in online classes amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

About 98 percent of MSJC’s courses are online this fall to help further reduce the spread of COVID-19. Hands-on courses – Career Education classes in automotive, nursing and diagnostic medical sonography (DMS), for example – will be held on MSJC campuses when necessary.

As of Monday, a total of 15,630 students had enrolled for the fall semester at MJSC. Those interested in attending MSJC should call (951) 639-5313 or visit www.msjc.edu.

Among the new offerings to student this fall is the MSJC Apprenticeship program, which is focusing on automotive this semester.

Companies with auto maintenance and repair facilities are helping students who are looking for a career while wishing to learn necessary skills through a combination of structured on-the-job training and related classroom instruction at MSJC.

The apprenticeship provides a vital supplement to the training that MSJC's automotive program offers to students, said Bob Pensiero, MSJC Automotive Instructor.

The automotive program is designed to give MSJC students the vast technical knowledge required by essential workers and plenty of hands-on experience with a wide variety of diagnostic and repair procedures. The apprenticeship provides the student with the opportunity to get one-on-one training from a professional technician in real-world situations.

“This allows the employer to ‘test drive’ a potential employee, which provides the student who participates in the apprenticeship with a major advantage over other potential applicants to be hired on a permanent basis,” Pensiero said.

Students and employers interested in participating in the MSJC Apprenticeship program should email Apprenticeship@msjc.edu.
