Williamsburg Technical College Establishes New Student Initiative Program

Williamsburg Technical College recently implemented a new Student Initiative Program to assist out-of-school males and females in achieving success by gaining the necessary skills to obtain and retain employment leading to self-sufficiency. The program funded by a Workforce Investment Act grant serves Williamsburg County residents 17-24 years old who are not currently enrolled in school and who have neither a high school diploma nor a GED certificate.

The program started fall semester assisting new Williamsburg Technical College students and recruitment efforts will include visiting area entities to explain the program and assist potential participants in the College’s application process. Various area services and training programs will be working with the program to ensure success, including Williamsburg County Adult Education, Black River Healthcare, Williamsburg County Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, and the Williamsburg Enterprise Community.
