Get Free Lean Manufacturing Training to Prepare for Jobs with Volvo, Mercedes, and More




Trident Tech is offering free lean manufacturing training for 84 participants through the ManuFirstSC Grant program.

The demand for workers in high-tech lean manufacturing is expected to continue to surge in the Lowcountry in the coming years and the Division of Continuing Education and Economic Development is gearing up to train local residents to fill these jobs.

The college has modified its Lean Manufacturing program, originally developed in conjunction with local manufacturers to provide workers with the equivalent of one year of manufacturing experience, to conform to the state of South Carolina’s ManuFirstSC Grant program. The ManuFirstSC Grant program completely covers the cost of tuition, background checks and drug screening for a total of 84 participants for Trident Tech’s ManuFirstSC (Lean Manufacturing) continuing education classes running from January to May 2019. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Trident Tech Continuing Education is hosting a series of free information sessions about the ManuFirstSC Grant program in December. Information sessions are scheduled for:

·         Tuesday, Dec. 4, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Berkeley Campus Library
·        Wednesday, Dec. 5, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Dorchester County QuickJobs Training Center in St. George
·         Saturday, Dec. 8, 10-11 a.m., Thornley Campus, Building 910, Room 122

This portrait of St. Julian Devine now hangs on the second floor of the St. Julian Devine Community Center, just across from the elevator. by Susan Millar Williams, Ph. D.  Those who live and work on the East Side know the name St. Julian Devine—it’s the name of the community center located in the old city incinerator, on East Bay Street between Blake and Cooper Streets.
