Crabberley says TCC apprenticeship program will support hiring at new Portsmouth site
Summary
Founder Craig Warren said Crabberley has worked with Tidewater Community College to set up a customized apprenticeship program adjacent to its parking lot, a partnership the company said will support workforce development for its expansion.
Craig Warren, speaking for Crabberley Enterprises at the ribbon-cutting, said the company has already begun coordinating with local workforce developers to train and recruit employees at its new Portsmouth site.
"We quite literally just walked into our own training facility with TCC workforce development down at the end of our own parking lot here," Warren said, crediting "Mike and Caitlin" with helping set up a customized apprenticeship program the company expects will "make a huge difference" for its operations.
Warren framed the partnership as part of a broader effort to convert community goodwill into concrete training and hiring opportunities as the company expands in the city. City officials in attendance highlighted workforce development and job creation as central benefits of the relocation.
The transcript records the company's statement of intent regarding the apprenticeship program but does not include a formal memorandum of understanding, funding details or a timeline for hires; those items were not specified in the remarks on the record.
