An apprenticeship allows students to earn while they learn a highly-skilled trade. The program consists of intensive on-the-job training and related classroom instruction provided by South Piedmont Community College.
Apprentices receive free education while earning a full-time wage that increases as they progress through the program.
At the completion of the program, apprentices will receive a Journey Worker’s Certification, college credits that can be applied towards a diploma or degree, and secure employment with the opportunity to advance.
