Shoals Works Q4 Lunch

Q4 Shoals Works Lunch:

All About Apprenticeships

The Shoals Chamber of Commerce invites HR professionals and educators to join us for our final quarterly lunch of 2025, featuring a timely discussion on apprenticeships as a solution to workforce needs.

Join us as we highlight two innovative programs making an impact in our region:

• Mark Prettnar, ThinkData Solutions – Learn about their one-of-a-kind Data Analysis Apprenticeship Program, designed to help employers grow their own pipeline of skilled data professionals.

• Allison Mefford, NWSCC – Discover how the FAME Industrial Maintenance Apprenticeship Program is helping manufacturers recruit, train, and retain the skilled maintenance professionals.

Whether you’re in HR, workforce development, or education, this roundtable is an opportunity to:

- Hear about apprenticeship models that work

- Share your apprenticeship success stories
- Connect with peers who share your workforce challenges and goals

Thank you to our lunch sponsor: the City of Florence!
