MTC AWARDED $2M+ FOR TRAINING
Midlands Technical College is receiving more than $2.17 million in grants and funding to help drive South Carolina’s economy through workforce development. The money will assist Midlands businesses in creating and sustaining apprenticeship programs.
“MTC and Apprenticeship Carolina make it easy for employers to develop their workforce through tailored apprenticeships,” said Rebecca Taylor, MTC Business Solutions Executive Director. “We help them with the grant application, training plans, and even reporting processes. And at the end of the day, employers are able to build their workforce with a great deal of intention.”
Youth and adult apprenticeship programs combine paid on-the-job training with classroom instruction to prepare employees for highly-skilled careers that provide family-sustaining income. The goal is to fund 935 apprentices and 251 pre-apprentices.
APPRENTICESHIP SPOTLIGHT: MEDSHORE AMBULANCE SERVICES
Apprenticeship is making a difference for Medshore, the largest privately owned ambulance service in South Carolina. The company approached MTC in February 2021 to develop a partnership to offer interested applicants the opportunity to become EMT Basic Apprentices.
Working hand-in-hand with Medshore, MTC was able to quickly adapt the standard EMT Basic course into an accelerated 8-week program that not only prepares students to become Nationally Registered EMTs, but also includes courses on soft skills such as customer service, and Medshore specific onboarding training. The students are paid an apprentice wage while they are in class, and the cost of tuition, supplies, and exams are covered by a grant through Apprenticeship Carolina, a division of the SC Technical College System.
MTC registered 280+ adult and youth apprentices at 30+ companies in a variety
of different industries including health care, manufacturing, engineering, government, and skilled trades to help employers with a talent pipeline.
