Labor Movement Apprenticeship Program (LMAP)

About LMAP

The Labor Movement Apprenticeship Program (LMAP) is a project of the UC Berkeley Labor Center’s Student Engagement Team. LMAP offers a unique opportunity to broaden students’ understanding of unions and labor-based community organizations while developing their skills in labor research, communications, oral history, and organizing. Through LMAP, host sites can receive support on campaigns or special projects while also providing a chance to mentor students and nourish their passion for social and economic justice. In addition, students receive mentorship and training from Labor Center staff and guest presenters to train them for their on-site work. This program aims to give students a positive and enriching experience in the labor movement, in the hope that they will want to remain in the movement and be an ally to labor in their future endeavors. LMAP participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from the UC Berkeley Labor Center at the end of the program in May 2026.
