Summary
Eighty-five students accepted part-time jobs, full-time jobs or apprenticeships at Surry-Yadkin Works' June 4 signing ceremony in Dobson, where family members, educators and business partners gathered at Surry Community College.
Twenty-five registered apprentices were also recognized for completing programs that combined paid hands-on training with classroom instruction, earning industry credentials and often moving into full-time roles.
Thirty-seven additional students secured employment at separate events for Hugh Chatham Health and Northern Regional Hospital, extending this year's placements beyond the main ceremony.
Surry-Yadkin Works, which serves as a pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship sponsor for Surry and Yadkin counties, said the program links local schools, employers and Surry Community College to build the regional workforce.
