Several training centers across the council have Open House events for National Apprenticeship Week.

National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is a nationwide celebration to showcase the opportunities that Registered Apprenticeships offer for Americans to develop workplace experience and skills that employers value.

In honor of the 85th Anniversary of the National Apprenticeship Act, the U.S. Department of Labor is hosting the 8th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW)! This year’s NAW will take place November 14-20, 2022, at hundreds of events across the country. These events give leaders in business, labor, workforce, education and other critical industries the opportunity to showcase their Registered Apprenticeship programs, apprentices, and facilities to career seekers in their local communities. Additionally, apprentices have a platform to share their apprenticeship experience and how it has transformed their lives.

Join the Central South Carpenters in celebrating apprenticeships at our NAW events. Guests will be able to tour our facilities, speak with instructors and sign up for our programs.
