Tom Hobbs, human resources director at Standard Textile, describes how Apprenticeship Carolina™ and Spartanburg Community College helped the company embrace the power and potential of apprenticeship to grow its own skilled workforce.

Our Carolina Distribution Center now employs 12 full-time associates. EDGE: What kind of apprenticeship program do you have?

EDGE: What made you decide to start an apprenticeship? TH: We noticed a distinct skills gap in the maintenance arena, as well as a shortage of qualified candidates in the local market. Since we were unable to find the right candidates, we decided that we would need to “build” them... http://ow.ly/64AA50v1bXA
