Several apprentices participated in a signing ceremony held on campus, officially marking the start of their new careers.   This event celebrates individuals who will gain hands-on experience and training, along with classroom instruction, to advance their careers with practical skills. The program supports apprentices in their professional development while benefiting local employers.   EDR looks forward to the opportunities these apprenticeships will bring to Wayne County and the region!   [#waynecommunitycollege](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/waynecommunitycollege?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWuH3Tv2ZogOKtak6JqDYHk025OJy2u856orLZDlph_sFRvlLbZb8Bb4JT_U_QsTp6VEKoMLtjLwO-v7Vj7wLSkPZ2elLAwkYKwKjkWPVNv0qfCc1WU0vD9cS4SaCJkSaVX00UyGcOHTXQR7eXv8xAsH-bqaXOt0Bz4jN3h4Es1mFvCOYdAhZQS35XhYQxjssg&__tn__=*NK-R) [#WCPS](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wcps?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWuH3Tv2ZogOKtak6JqDYHk025OJy2u856orLZDlph_sFRvlLbZb8Bb4JT_U_QsTp6VEKoMLtjLwO-v7Vj7wLSkPZ2elLAwkYKwKjkWPVNv0qfCc1WU0vD9cS4SaCJkSaVX00UyGcOHTXQR7eXv8xAsH-bqaXOt0Bz4jN3h4Es1mFvCOYdAhZQS35XhYQxjssg&__tn__=*NK-R) [#waynecounty](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/waynecounty?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWuH3Tv2ZogOKtak6JqDYHk025OJy2u856orLZDlph_sFRvlLbZb8Bb4JT_U_QsTp6VEKoMLtjLwO-v7Vj7wLSkPZ2elLAwkYKwKjkWPVNv0qfCc1WU0vD9cS4SaCJkSaVX00UyGcOHTXQR7eXv8xAsH-bqaXOt0Bz4jN3h4Es1mFvCOYdAhZQS35XhYQxjssg&__tn__=*NK-R)   ![514283471_1391125146347407_2666414851592363395_n copy](https://39772556.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39772556/hubfs/514283471_1391125146347407_2666414851592363395_n%20copy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=514283471_1391125146347407_2666414851592363395_n%20copy.jpg) ![535439557_1391125669680688_2009334103517617335_n copy](https://39772556.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39772556/hubfs/535439557_1391125669680688_2009334103517617335_n%20copy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=535439557_1391125669680688_2009334103517617335_n%20copy.jpg) ![535482189_1391125306347391_384160511637903987_n copy](https://39772556.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39772556/hubfs/535482189_1391125306347391_384160511637903987_n%20copy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=535482189_1391125306347391_384160511637903987_n%20copy.jpg) ![535493201_1391125656347356_3194546846012629172_n copy](https://39772556.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39772556/hubfs/535493201_1391125656347356_3194546846012629172_n%20copy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=535493201_1391125656347356_3194546846012629172_n%20copy.jpg) ![535551316_1391125466347375_7012243507092037706_n copy](https://39772556.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/39772556/hubfs/535551316_1391125466347375_7012243507092037706_n%20copy.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=535551316_1391125466347375_7012243507092037706_n%20copy.jpg) ## Read On [![](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_0109-copy.jpg?width=352&name=IMG_0109-copy.jpg)](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/ncgtpedr-news/greene-county-job-fair-supporting-the-workforce-in-the-region-and-eastern-nc) ##### [Greene County Job Fair – Supporting the Workforce in the Region and Eastern NC](https://blog.ncgtpedr.com/ncgtpedr-news/greene-county-job-fair-supporting-the-workforce-in-the-region-and-eastern-nc) The NC Global TransPark Economic Development Region teamed up with Lenoir Community College to host...
