This past week has been the busiest week ever in my college year. Last week, I have a lot of homework’s and tests. I am behind with all my homework’s and needs to catch up. For some reason, I don’t understand why Professors like to give tests at the same time. Sometime, I feel like they all plan this out so they can mess with students.

Last week at the Heritage Lowman Home, I heard that the kickoff party was awesome. One of my buddies told me that the seniors were exciting that the TSTM students were there. A lot of students show up and there were some treats. I miss out the excited day and maybe I will show up for the next kickoff party.

I was going through thestate.com website and I find an article that relate to my TSTM 544 training class. The article “S.C. Employers Training Their Own” South Carolina State employers are trying to pursuit their career in the job training by the apprenticeship program. What is apprenticeship? The apprenticeship Carolina program is a combination of on-the-job training and associated classroom instruction in which workers learn the realistic and hypothetical aspects of a highly skilled pursuit. The program operates through S.C. Technical College System and helps employers find jobs without difficulty. The program started in 2007 and the number of apprentices has increased to 1,637 people in South Carolina of 2007. Last fall, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in Blythewood recruited 55 apprentices that needed employers to specialize in computer operating system called Unix. Throughout the program, forty apprentices became a Unix operator and fifteen are Oracle software developers, which is under the guidance of professionals at CSC. Most of the College undergraduate students are attending this program and most of them have been successful with their career goal. With the apprenticeship program, this is enhanced way to not rise up the percent of the unemployment but it will help increase the percent of employment. Here is the website below it and enjoy it!!
