On July 25, 2023 The Charleston Youth Apprenticeships program celebrated its 10th anniversary as 63 CCSD high school students officially signed on as youth apprentices with 53 companies. Apprentices, employers and funders were recognized at the bigger-than-ever Signing Day event July 25.

The Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeship at Trident Technical College offer rising high school juniors, seniors and graduating seniors the opportunity to “learn and earn.” Regional employers employ youth apprentices while they receive paid on-the-job training along with related classroom instruction at Trident Technical College. The costs associated with the youth apprenticeship college courses are covered by the program for students who are hired by participating companies.

Charleston County School District is thankful for our partnership with Trident Technical College and our regional employers and the funders of the program. Due to their support our scholars are able to take advantage of an invaluable experience that only sets them up for success.

We are extremely proud of the following students!
