Schaeffler apprenticeship program to add even more students in Fort Mill
Joshua Lott, a York Tech student, checks a safety relay as a part of his training for an associate's degree.
That new Schaeffler Group USA Inc. apprenticeship program for metalworking turns out to be more than a one-year thing.
The auto-parts company, which operates a plant in Fort Mill, says it will enroll 10 new apprentices each year as it works to fill advanced-manufacturing jobs.
“It’s always been a struggle to find those people ready for advanced-manufacturing jobs,” says Larry Bost, training and development manager at the Fort Mill Schaeffler plant.
Earlier this week, I wrote that Schaeffler is starting an apprenticeship program at the York County facility with 10 students, all with cooperation with York Technical College in Rock Hill. Turns out the company is already well along in filling that class and plans to add another eight students in August 2014.
Schaeffler’s Cheraw facilities has had a program for 23 years and has graduated 265 students, Bost says.
“We have a lot of folks who come out of the apprenticeship program, and now they’re managers at Schaeffler,” he says. In Cheraw, which is in Chesterfield County, the company works with Northeast Technical College in Pageland for classroom training.
The Fort Mill program will last for 3½ years and will involve 7,200 hours of training. Successful students will graduate with an associate’s degree in one of the college’s metalworking programs.
Greg Rutherford, president of York Tech, says Schaeffler’s programs and other apprenticeships are a better way to attract employees than what he calls “cattle-call” employment notices.
“That is the only way we will solve the challenge of talent,” he says.
