Apprenticeships in the Bay Area
Since 2015, BAVC Media has partnered with OEWD’s TechSF program to bring apprenticeships to the Bay Area tech sector.
We believe it’s a model that works for media and tech-focused companies of all sizes, and have seen first-hand how it brings in employees from diverse backgrounds who are eager to learn – giving them access to occupations they might not otherwise have been able to break into.

- Develop and promote existing talent
- Increase staff retention
