Hospital systems across the country are struggling to fill frontline clinical roles and provide accessible opportunities for employees to advance. In response, more and more employers are working with training providers to build on-the-job training and apprenticeship models. Join us for the second in a multi-session series to learn how a South Carolina community college took the lead in building a youth pre-nursing apprenticeship program in partnership with four hospital systems.

Join Mitchell Harp, Dean of Apprenticeship Programs at Trident Technical College, to learn how he’s built a community college-driven apprenticeship hub with over 175 apprenticeships in 25 in-demand occupations including EMT, medical lab tech, pharmacy tech, and medical office assistant. A former healthcare professional himself, Mitch partnered with local hospitals to build a youth pre-nursing apprenticeship to address the rising need for nursing talent in the region. Trident is currently placing nearly 60 young PCTs on their way to earning an ADN each year through a collaborative multi-employer model. (For a quick peek at the program, watch this video.) Join us to learn how Mitch worked with employers to navigate challenges such as age requirements, participant tracking, program oversight, and more.
