Description of business partnerships:

Our partnership with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Home Builders Association (HBA) in SC and other states allows us to teach our academic and vocational training programs using a European style model which means students receive academic training and real life, hands on PAID training with HBA members and other employer partners during their 6 to 12 month academic and practical training / education period. Our employer partners prefer our training model over traditional and outdated apprenticeship programs as 90% of businesses have their own standards, methods, training models and certifications that align with our vocational programs. SCJC has a 92% success rate which means 92% of students who complete our programs are still gainfully employed 1 year after completion.
