Apprenticeship 321

	APPRENTICESHIP 321

The Apprenticeship 321 Program is a flexible education and training program sponsored by Gaston College in collaboration with regional advanced manufacturers to cultivate highly skilled workers for large and small manufacturers.

Apprentices will receive job-specific training and tuition-free education while earning a salary employed by local companies. The company apprenticeship programs may take two to three years to complete.

There will be a priority to recruit and train women. Gaston College is working to continually ensure a classroom and laboratory environment that helps women to better prepare for advanced manufacturing careers.
