From Community College Daily: “To meet the nation’s evolving workforce requirements, community colleges are either creating new apprenticeships or updating existing ones. HCCC (Hudson County Community College) is addressing regional staffing challenges through an apprenticeship program with Eastern Millwork, a leader in automated architectural woodwork manufacturing and installation. In 2019, Eastern Millwork approached college officials with concerns that recent bachelor’s degree graduates were not prepared for the workforce. Since hiring mechanical engineering majors was also proving costly and inefficient, the company partnered with HCCC to create a pipeline of workers who would receive hands-on, major-specific training starting in high school.”
