The members of the first class of the Caterpillar Youth Apprenticeship Program in North Carolina.
On June 5, 17 high school students from Southern Lee and Lee County high schools in North Carolina were inducted into the first class of the Caterpillar Youth Apprenticeship Program.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will have:
- Earned a Welding Certificate from Central Carolina Community College
- Earned a certificate from the North Carolina Department of Labor indicating successful completion of the apprenticeship
- Completed the 80-hour Caterpillar Accelerated Training Program
- Completed hours to be credited toward their second apprenticeship
- Two years of experience as a part-time Caterpillar employee
Lee County School District Superintendent Jeff Moss and N.C. Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry joined Caterpillar managers to celebrate the induction. The Sanford facility is excited to partner with the surrounding community schools and offer this educational opportunity for students.
The Sanford facility welcomes the class and looks forward to tracking their successes in the Caterpillar Youth Apprenticeship Program and beyond.
