What drew you to apprenticeship?
In previous roles, as both a classroom teacher and career coach, I saw first-hand the need for apprenticeships. The Apprenticeship Consultant job fascinated me because up until applying for the position, I was unaware of the many perks available to businesses simply by partnering with Apprenticeship Carolina. I now tell any business owner that I encounter about the intricacies of Apprenticeship Carolina and the registered apprenticeship program.
What is something that you enjoy or appreciate the most about being an apprenticeship consultant?
I love the flexibility of the position, being able to go into the community meeting people and speaking with business leaders.
