Summary
Parkland College is launching a manufacturing pre-apprenticeship program starting October 19, aimed at students interested in careers in manufacturing. The program will offer hands-on experiences in various areas, including welding and electrical work, and will run until November 23.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative is significant as it provides young individuals with practical skills and knowledge in manufacturing, a sector that often faces skill shortages. By fostering interest and training in this area, programs like this can help bridge the gap between education and workforce needs.
