Florence-Darlington Technical College is launching a new Office of Apprenticeships, which will serve to support area employers with building and maintaining their workforce.

While adult student apprenticeships will be housed in this Office, one major focus for this initiative will be on advancing youth apprenticeships as a way to fill talent pipelines for employers in our college service area.

In the next few months, we will be hosting a number of meetings, along with an Apprenticeship Carolina representative, and will be reaching out to employers for their participation and feedback on how this Office can support workforce development in Florence, Darlington and Marion Counties.

So that we can accurately capture the data we need to move forward, and determine which employers want to be a part of this exciting workforce initiative, please take a few minutes to complete the survey below, no later than September 27th, 2019.
