Pennsylvania Transformer Technology (PTT) and Sandhills Community College (SCC) have partnered to establish new registered pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships in the welding and industrial electrician occupations.
A registered pre-apprenticeship is a short-term opportunity normally utilized for high school students designed to facilitate career exploration while introducing participants to industry skills and work-readiness to improve their chances of entering into a registered apprenticeship.
A registered apprenticeship is a long-term paid on-the-job career training program that includes classroom instruction that could lead to a credential, certificate or associate degree at Sandhills Community College.
In the past few weeks, there have been two industrial electrician pre-apprentices from Hoke County High School, one welding pre-apprentice from Hoke County High School and one adult welding apprentice registered into programs at PTT.
Businesses interested in creating pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships programs are encouraged to reach out to Jason Levister at (910) 695-3778 or levisterj@sandhills.edu. Levister will help design a work-based learning experience aligned with industry standards and specific goals, attract the right talent, tap into a pool of motivated students eager to gain hands-on experience and give ongoing support.
