Print this Article | Send to Colleague
On May 10, 2019, King Asphalt, Inc. held its first Signing Day for youth apprenticeships at the Pickens County Career and Technology Center. Four students from local high schools were selected following interviews to participate in a summer paid apprenticeship to discover available careers in the asphalt industry.
The program is designed with the student in mind. Apprentices are advancing from department to department, module to module, learning the foundations and details of our business before entering construction sites. Modules include the following departments: Human Resources, Safety, Asphalt Plants, Quality Control Laboratory, Accounting – Payables and Receiving, Estimating, Project Management and Maintenance.
Our goal is for students to gain a solid working knowledge of the asphalt industry and the impact they can have on their local community and state. After completing the apprenticeship program, we hope students are excited to begin their career with us without a large amount of student debt.
King Asphalt, Inc. is excited to have Chloe Wilson, Chris Auston, Trevor Collins, and Austin Burkhart join the King Asphalt, Inc. family.
Invest in the next generation!
