Join us for a lunchtime meeting of the
PMI SC Midlands Chapter!
 

This session will enhance your knowledge about a key topic in the workforce development world —registered apprenticeships. Workforce Development is not just the responsibility of HR but rather a collaborative effort involving internal and external stakeholders. Since having the correct workforce resources can significantly impact project success, this topic is particularly concerning to project, program, and portfolio managers.

Apprenticeship Carolina leads the state in navigating registered apprenticeships, a proven model for talent development across all industries. This model has enjoyed long-standing bipartisan support, and you will leave the session with an understanding of how to utilize it. Additionally, you will learn how to access the applicable talent development resources available within South Carolina and nationwide, which Apprenticeship Carolina coordinates at no cost to its corporate and organizational partners.
