What happened to people who took this
No outcomes reported for this program
About a third of California programs report nothing. That is a fact about the program's reporting, not evidence that it works or does not.
The job this trains for
This describes the jobs people do, not the classes this program teaches. It comes from the U.S. Department of Labor, which asks people already doing the work. The Department publishes it in English only, so the job names and the sentences below stay in English on this page.
No regional figures for this program's city
La Verne is not one of the metropolitan or rural areas California names when it publishes wages and openings. A neighbouring area's figures would look exactly like a correct answer, so none are shown and the statewide figures stand alone. About half of California's programs are in this position.

This counts people already doing this job, across the whole United States. Every other figure on this page is California's, and the federal government publishes no state version of this one. It is what people happen to have, not a rule about who gets hired. A small row does not mean you would be turned away, and a large one is not a promise of a job.
Program details
This program provides in-person instruction only.
Bricklayers build walls, chimneys and other structures from masonry units such as brick, block, glass block or stone. They also line industrial kilns and furnaces, and may work in sewers. Generally, the Bricklayers technique is to spread the bottom and side of each unit with mortar and position it by hand, cutting off excess mortar and later trimming it to achieve a neat appearance. Work is kept level by use of a tightly stretched line and must be checked frequently for level and plumb. Some units must be cut to fit. Bricklayers often work from scaffolding. The work, especially block work, is often strenuous. In a related trade, the Pointer-Cleaner-Caulker (PCC) patches weathered masonry, replaces old mortar and does caulking, waterproofing and cleaning of both new and old masonry. They often work on swing scaffold twenty (20) stories or more up.
Someone else may be able to pay for this
This program was on California's Eligible Training Provider List when the state last reported it to the U.S. Department of Labor (2026-08-04). Programs on that list can be paid for through an Individual Training Account. Listings are renewed periodically and can lapse, so a program listed when the state last reported may not be listed today. Ask before you rely on it.

How this gets paid for, and what to ask →
Whether a person can have a program paid for is decided by their local workforce development board and the America's Job Center staff who interview them — not by this site, and not by the training provider. California has 45 local workforce development areas and each sets its own policies, so the answer can differ between two people in neighboring counties. Nothing here is a promise of funding or a determination of eligibility.
The rules cited here, and the state and federal sites linked to, are published in English.
