Six students from Greenville County have joined Prisma Health's Youth Apprenticeship program aimed at addressing the nursing workforce shortage in South Carolina. The program allows high school students to gain hands-on experience as nursing support assistants while also pursuing their education.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative highlights the importance of apprenticeship programs in bridging the gap between education and workforce needs, especially in critical areas like healthcare. By engaging students early, it supports career pathways that can help alleviate the nursing shortage.
