John Rizzo, a Keizer resident, has
taken his idea of reserving parking
spaces for military veterans nation-
wide and has launched a GoFundMe
campaign to raise $5,000 for Veterans
Parking.
Veteran’s Parking is a 501(c)-3 non-
profi t organization that aims to provide
a parking space for those who have
served their country. Parking spaces are
provided by property owners, primarily
at commercial locations, on a voluntary
CCC offering pre-apprenticeship program
Chemeketa Community College
will continue the Campus-Based Pre-
Apprenticeship Program for winter term
2022 on the Salem campus. The pro-
gram allows participants to gain knowl-
edge, skills, and experience valued by
construction employers and Registered
Apprenticeship Programs.
Students enrolled in the Pre-
Apprenticeship program take two col-
lege classes to fulfi ll requirements: Trade
Skills Fundamentals (APR 101) and an
additional employment-related course
or an internship. Participants must com-
plete additional safety training, includ-
ing OSHA 10 and First-Aid/CPR.
Pre-Apprentices receive up to $650
in tools, safety clothing, boots, and gas
cards as participants of the program
which is made possible from a BOLI/
ODOT grant. Chemeketa provides addi-
tional support to help pre-apprentices
pay the tuition and fees for the required
courses in the Pre-Apprenticeship
Program, including fi nancial aid, Job
Corps Scholars, and the STEP Program.
Upon completion, pre-apprentices
will receive a certifi cate that demon-
strates their completion in a Registered
Pre-Apprenticeship Program, college
credit for courses, and OSHA 10 and
First-Aid/CPR cards.
Applications for the winter 2022 pro-
gram are due December 10, 2021, and
space is limited. For more information
on requirements or questions regard-
ing the Pre-Apprenticeship Program,
