Have You Herd? Episode 7

In this episode of Have You Herd? we talk apprenticeships with Craig Foucht, Executive Director of the Wayne Business and Industry Center.
The Wayne Business and Industry Center provides apprenticeship services to employers and individuals through an ApprenticeshipNC Regional Specialist housed on the WCC campus.
Registered Apprenticeships...
... help workers learn specialized skills needed in today’s economy.
... combine on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction.
... allow businesses to create flexible and effective training and hiring solutions that work for their industry.
Apprentices learn practical skills while earning a nationally recognized industry credential.
WCC currently has apprenticeship opportunities with Smithfield Foods, Wayne UNC Health Care, Mount Olive Pickle, Franklin Baking Company, SPX Transformer Solutions, and Bridgestone Americas plant in Wilson, NC. More are in the works.
If you're an employer looking to start an apprenticeship program, or an individual who wants to apply for an apprenticeship program, please contact Kristie Norton, Apprenticeship Coordinator, at [e-mail].
