Good Morning North Augusta—Powerful Partnerships

We’re kicking off 2026 with a timely and important conversation. This month’s theme, Powerful Partnerships, will focus on workforce development pathways and the critical connection between education and industry. As our region continues to grow, building strong collaborations between schools, training programs, and employers is essential to preparing the next generation of talent and supporting long-term economic success.

We are assembling a panel of leaders representing both education and industry sectors who will share insight, experiences, and practical perspectives on how these partnerships are shaping workforce readiness in our community. 

Featured industry panelists and apprentices from:

• Savannah River Site Fire Department—Travis Scott, Fire Chief, and Andrew Hill, Apprentice
• Rolls Royce Solutions America—Karson King, Mechanical Engineer and A.J. Campbell, CNC Machine Operator, both former apprentices
• Stokes Hodges Ford—John Neumar and Lathan Rearden, Apprentice

Good Morning North Augusta programs are designed to inform, connect, and inspire our business community. Whether you are an employer, educator, nonprofit leader, or community stakeholder, this discussion will offer valuable insight into how collaboration drives growth.

Mark your calendar and plan to join us for coffee, connection, and conversation as we explore how powerful partnerships are building a stronger future for North Augusta.
