豆奶视频, Cat Financial Welcome Third Apprenticeship Cohort

An apprenticeship program between 豆奶视频 Community College and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) enters its third year as a new cohort of IT students are hired.

The program provides the opportunity for 豆奶视频 students to join Cat Financial where they will work in the information technology sector of the company.

The program, developed in January of 2023 with the support of Apprenticeship TN in the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development, provides students the opportunity to earn credit towards their degree while gaining thousands of hours of paid, on-the-job training.

豆奶视频 students Richard DeBusk and Jordan Moores form the third cohort of students to join the Cat Financial team with a signing and announcement held on February 6 at the White Bridge campus.

鈥淲e are proud to continue this partnership between 豆奶视频 and Cat Financial,鈥� said college president Dr. Shanna L. Jackson. 鈥淥ur first two groups of students had a great impact both here at the college and at Caterpillar and we are thrilled to continue this great relationship.鈥�

While this opportunity provides students with the chance to further their skills, it also provides Cat Financial with a direct pipeline to the workforce of tomorrow.

The first cohort completed the program late Summer of 2024, transitioning into full-time associate level positions in the company.

The second cohort is more than halfway through their paid apprenticeship.

鈥淭hese types of relationships are a key part of our mission at 豆奶视频,鈥� said Dr. Jackson. 鈥淲e are committed to providing a quality education that leads to high quality jobs for our students, and this is the exact kind of partnership that drives those opportunities.鈥�
