Representatives from Kion North America<\/a> participated in Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeship Signing Day. Students gathered at Trident Technical College to sign their employment letters to become apprentices with Charleston-area employers.<\/p>\n

Evan Quade and Drake Head, recent graduates of Ashley Ridge High School and Taj\u2019Jay Jackson, a recent graduate of Goose Creek High School, have since completed their first month as apprentices with the Summerville-based forklift manufacturer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Youth Apprenticeship Program, students and recent high school graduates are selected by local employers as trainees in functions such as Automotive, Bookkeeping, Civil CAD, CNA\/Pre-Nursing, Computer Programming, Culinary Arts, Emergency Medical Technician, Engineering Assistant\/Technician, Hotel Operations, HVAC, Industrial Mechanics, Machine Tool Technology, Networking and Security\/Pre-Law Enforcement. The program gives selected students the opportunity to earn while they learn through paid on-the-job training under the direction of an industry mentor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While working part-time, the students are enrolled in entry-level and job-specific courses at Trident Technical College that is funded by the Accelerate Greater Charleston 2 campaign, which is run by the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is Kion North America\u2019s third year hosting youth apprentices.<\/p><\/div>\n

As apprentices in this program, Quade, Head and Jackson will gain a minimum of 2,000 hours of job-specific skills in their chosen education track and will be approximately halfway through their Associate\u2019s Degree from Trident Technical College \u2013 at no cost to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quade and Jackson\u2019s production curriculum will include industrial safety; hands-on assembly; reading assembly work instructions; participating in quality audits; lean manufacturing techniques such as one-piece flow, 5S and Kaizen; problem-solving techniques; how to work with torque tooling and air-powered equipment; and performing product tests and final inspections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head\u2019s industrial engineering curriculum will include understanding lean techniques, production efficiency, creates flowcharts, manufacturing processes and control systems and elements of automation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is Kion North America<\/a>\u2019s third year hosting youth apprentices. Kion North America<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
