Summary
Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) has launched a new apprenticeship program in collaboration with Northside Family RV, marking the first initiative from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. Two eager students have been selected as apprentices, who will receive hands-on training and technical instruction over the next four years to develop their careers in the RV industry.
This partnership exemplifies how apprenticeships can effectively bridge the gap between education and employment, providing employers with a reliable talent pipeline while giving students the opportunity to earn while they learn. With structured support from BCTC, both apprentices and participating businesses can benefit from enhanced skills and improved employee retention.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
