"Apprenticeships build essential soft skills, team building skills and provide mentorship at a time when all of these things are so important to the success of our workforce. They are helping Palmetto Synthetics achieve our mission to be the leading global innovator and provider of Specialty Synthetic Fiber while fostering a culture of integrity, dignity and respect for our team members, business partners, community and environment.
