           NASH COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRE-APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight the 
exceptional apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs Nash 
Community College offers.
  The STEPS4GROWTH Pre-Apprenticeship is an incredible opportunity for 
individuals interested in advanced manufacturing or clean energy 
vehicles.
  Imagine not just learning but actively engaging with industry-
experienced instructors, gaining hands-on experience, and working on 
real projects that can kickstart a career.
  These programs don't just benefit students. Local organizations can 
also boost their productivity and profitability by participating.
  It is an exciting chance for students to dive into their passions and 
for local communities to nurture the next generation of talented 
workforce-ready individuals. We have seen the benefits and the results 
across the region at places like OIC.
  I commend Nash Community College for its commitment to keeping the 
American Dream within reach for eastern North Carolinians.
