Employers Benefits

 

  • State tax credit.
    Eligible businesses can receive a South Carolina tax credit of $1,000 per apprentice per year for up to four years.
  • Higher skill level among all employees.
    On-the-job training along with job-related educational instruction gives employees a full understanding of their job — both the “how” and the “why”.  Employees clearly see the impact their actions have on such important measures as productivity, quality, safety and customer service.
  • Decreased turnover.
    Organizations committed to investing in their workforce experience increased employee motivation and morale. Companies sponsoring registered apprenticeship programs often enjoy a cluster of loyal, skilled workers who represent potential leaders for the organization.
  • Improved productivity.
    As apprenticeship participants hone their skills, employers experience a noticeable contribution to the bottom line through higher quality levels and productivity. Employees have a deeper understanding of their jobs and use this knowledge to best meet the business needs of your organization.
  • Structured and consistent training.
    Registered apprenticeship provides an opportunity for employers to build a structured, consistent training program that ensures reliable workforce performance that meets both organization and industry standards.
  • A reliable plan for the future.
    As many industries face an aging workforce, registered apprenticeship ensures a system structured to successfully facilitate the transfer of knowledge from experienced employees to new recruits.
