会同学徒卡罗莱纳州和新美国，KION北美参加三叉戟技术学院的为期两天的培训活动于11月18日和19日，2019年，旨在帮助国家和地方社区发展青年学徒计划。

“为期两天的培训活动向参加活动的公司和学生展示了学徒计划的强大优势，” KION北美制造总监Jeff Peterson说。

该活动仅邀请五个州的合作伙伴参加，根据“促进青年学徒制伙伴关系（PAYA）高质量青年学徒制指导原则”进行了考察和讲习班。这次会议以查尔斯顿地区青年学徒计划为全国典范，包括与雇主，K-12领导人和现任/前任青年学徒的小组讨论，以及对现任青年学徒雇主的参观。凯傲北美公司共欢迎来自东南部的25个人，向他们介绍了凯傲北美公司，并参观了其位于南卡罗来纳州萨默维尔的250,000平方英尺的工厂

“通过参加工厂参观，教育者能够从我们的工业工程学徒Drake Head那里听到，并亲眼看到我们学徒直接参与的项目，” Peterson补充说。

在过去的三年中，KION北美通过查尔斯顿地区青年学徒计划总共接待了五名学徒。作为该计划的学徒，高中初中，高年级或最近的高中毕业生可以在所选的教育领域中获得至少2,000个小时的特定工作技能，并从三叉戟技术学院获得一半的副学士学位，而无需为此付出任何代价。凯傲（KION）北美代表相信，该计划是弥合未来工作与我们地区现有劳动力之间存在的鸿沟的一种措施。

KION North America participates in Apprenticeship Carolina two-day training event

KION has awarded five apprenticeships to high school juniors, seniors and graduates, affording them at no cost a minimum of 2,000 hours of job-specific skills and half of their associate’s degree.

In conjunction with Apprenticeship Carolina and New America, KION North America participated in Trident Technical College’s two-day training event on November 18 and 19, 2019, designed to assist state and local communities in developing youth apprenticeship programs.

“The two-day training event showcased the strong benefits of the apprenticeship program for participating companies and the students,” said Jeff Peterson, director of manufacturing, KION North America.

This invitation-only event engaged partners from five states in a study-tour and workshop following the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA) Guiding Principles for High-Quality Youth Apprenticeship. The conference, which featured the Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeship Program as a national model, included panel discussions with employers, K-12 leaders and current/former youth apprentices and a tour of current youth apprenticeship employers. KION North America welcomed a total of 25 individuals from throughout the southeast, providing them with an introduction to KION North America and a tour of its 250,000-square-foot facility in Summerville, S.C.

“By participating in a plant tour, educators were able to hear from our industrial engineering apprentice, Drake Head, and see first-hand the projects that our apprentices are directly involved with,” added Peterson.

For the past three years, KION North America has hosted a total of five apprentices through the Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeship Program. As apprentices in this program, high school juniors, seniors or recent high school graduates gain a minimum of 2,000 hours of job-specific skills in their chosen education track and complete half of their Associate’s Degree from Trident Technical College – at no cost to them. KION North America representatives believe that this program is one measure towards closing the gap that exists between the jobs of the future and the available workforce in our area.
