Many firms and companies may have difficulty finding employees with the necessary skills or desired level of company-specific knowledge. Through apprenticeships, employers can reduce operational costs, establish a streamlined channel to find new workers, advance existing workers, build employee loyalty, reduce attrition, and foster new leaders.
South Piedmont Community College (SPCC) partners with local businesses and industry to create apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs that meet the workforce needs of Union and Anson counties. SPCC can assist you in the development, registration, and implementation of an apprenticeship program specific to your company.
Apprenticeship programs provide a highly skilled workforce through classroom instruction and on-the-job training.

UCPS CTE’s mission is to provide all students with rigorous and relevant courses and programs that emphasize applications of theory, problem-solving, and critical thinking and to provide leadership in developing an educated, prepared, and competitive workforce by preparing our students for post-secondary and careers by giving them the 21st-century skills that they need to help them become lifelong learners. Career Readiness also supports student-led organizations that demonstrate academic achievement, technical skills, leadership, and strong community building through productive citizenship.
Today’s job market requires individuals with technical and high-level problem-solving skills. Career Readiness is focused on teaching these attributes through real-world applications in all of the different program areas.
Students have many opportunities in different pathways that will help prepare them for life after high school; whether it be in a four-year university, a two-year community or technical college, or in a career. Through classes offered by CTE, students will gain the technical skills and academic knowledge to prepare for future employment and/or a successful transition to post-secondary education.
According to the CTE Essential Standards, “the mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to empower students to be successful citizens, workers, and leaders in a global economy.” Course sets, called pathways, are developed across eight program areas to best assist students in finding their passion and becoming career and college ready, and further broken into over 36 available pathways.
