Leadership Development and Supervisory Workplace Readiness
Greenville Technical College and Greenville Literacy Association
PL Developments, a manufacturer, packager and distributor of over-the-counter pharmaceutical products and consumer healthcare goods, with over 700 employees in South Carolina, jointly created a partnership with Apprenticeship Carolina, Greenville Technology College, and the Greenville Literacy Association.
This partnership has created valuable opportunities for 80 employees in our Leadership Development and 20 employees in our Supervisory Workplace Readiness Apprenticeship programs. The Leadership Development Apprenticeship allows employees to build and refine their leadership capabilities, with a curriculum focused on Lean Six Sigma, DEI, and Leadership principles. The Supervisory Workplace Readiness Apprenticeship, meanwhile, supports 20 employees identified as potential leads or supervisors who previously lacked proficiency in English. Through this program, they are developing English language skills alongside essential supervisory competencies and knowledge of DEI, equipping them for future career advancement. Employee feedback for these apprenticeships has been excellent, and employees greatly appreciate these new learning and development opportunities.

“The Leadership Development and Supervisory Workplace Readiness Apprenticeship programs serve as a model for collaboration between business, government, higher education, and non-profit organizations to strengthen incumbent workers' skill sets and create growth opportunities within a company, bringing tremendous value to both the workforce and the company. These programs achieve this while also meeting customer demands and upholding the high standards required in the pharmaceutical industry.”
