Students and their families gathered at Trident Technical College this morning to sign letters that will guide their future.
None of the students was joining a college sports team – all 59 students were signing employment letters to become apprentices with Charleston-area employers.
In her opening remarks at Youth Apprentice Signing Day, Mary Thornley, president of Trident Technical College, said of the employers,”They’re willing to hire 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds, and without them, this would be just another classroom program. That’s the difference – this is not just another classroom program. This is a true apprenticeship.”
