Apprenticeships

National Apprenticeship Week

We look forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week this year from November 17-23, 2024 at SCC! This year’s theme – 10 Years of Engagement, Expansion, and Innovation – is in recognition of the fact that, since NAW’s inception, literally thousands of events have allowed countless individuals to learn about the life-changing impacts that the Registered Apprenticeship has had and continues to have for so many jobseekers and employers.

ACCESS Apprenticeship Open House Event | Wednesday, November 20, 2024

Join us for SCC’s first ACCESS Apprenticeship Open House! This event is designed for high school students interested in apprenticeships and industry partners seeking future apprentices. The day will feature an apprenticeship overview, student spotlights, networking opportunities, a signing event with local superintendents, and lunch. Students will also showcase their skills in areas like teacher prep, IT, automotive, welding, and more. Industry partners can observe these demonstrations to identify potential apprentice candidates for their businesses.

Earn while you learn!

Apprenticeship is an employer-based program that helps workers learn specialized skills needed in today’s work environment, combining on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction. Students earn nationally recognized credentials, while employers develop a talented team and close the skills gap. While many people start apprenticeships immediately after graduating from high school, they may also work well for veterans leaving active-duty military service, those looking to change careers, or people whose jobs are being replaced by technology. Here at Southeastern Community College, our goal is to help connect and support employers and apprentices.

Today’s apprenticeships cover a wide range of industries and occupations. Large and small companies across North Carolina and around the world use apprenticeship to train their employees and build a skilled workforce. NC companies using the apprenticeship model include CVS, Siemens, GSK, Atrium Health, Machine Specialties Inc., and hundreds of others.

Just some of the apprenticeship opportunities offered by employers in North Carolina include those listed below, though there are many others:

  • Healthcare (surgical technician, LPN, pharmacy tech, etc.)
  • IT & cybersecurity
  • Public safety (police, fire, EMS)
  • Logistics & transportation
  • Energy (line workers, etc.)
  • Building trades (welder, electrician, plumbing, construction)
  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Finance & insurance
  • Hospitality

We are adding new employers all the time, so please let us know what type of opportunities interest you.

ApprenticeshipNC is a federally registered apprenticeship program that links workforce training to rewarding careers.
