Sonoco Union is proud to offer a robust apprenticeship program in South Carolina, focusing on training the next generation of Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians. Our initiatives provide apprentices with hands-on experience in critical occupations such as Electromechanical Technicians and Industrial Machinery Mechanics, equipping them with the skills needed for a successful career in manufacturing and maintenance.
Through partnerships with local educational institutions, such as Calhoun Community College, we facilitate apprenticeships that not only offer practical training but also lead to valuable degrees. Our commitment to workforce development is exemplified by our collaboration with Hartselle High School, where we launched North Alabama's first registered apprenticeship program, fostering early career pathways for students in modern manufacturing.
