Wiregrass Tech proudly celebrates the value of apprenticeships in building a highly skilled workforce and strengthening our local economy.  

The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and its 22 technical colleges serve as Registered Apprenticeship sponsors, making it the largest Registered Apprenticeship network in the state. To date, Wiregrass has 58 active apprentices working for 30 local employers. There have been 42 Wiregrass apprentices who have received a nationally recognized Certificate of Apprenticeship from the U.S. Department of Labor.

“Apprenticeships are a vital component of our mission at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College. They provide students with real-world, paid work experience while meeting the evolving workforce needs of our local employers. We are proud to partner with businesses across South Georgia to create career pathways that lead to high-wage, high-demand jobs and support economic growth throughout our region,” shared Wiregrass President DeAnnia Clements.
