Sandhills Community College and RhemaWeb are partnering to provide registered apprenticeships that combine classroom learning with paid, hands-on experience in information technology and digital marketing.

Sandhills Community College is pleased to announce two apprenticeships in partnership with RhemaWeb located in West End, NC. Recently assuming their roles, Peyton Cuneo, IT Technician/Generalist apprentice and Dana Spence Digital Marketing Specialist apprentice, have started to make impact with the growing company.
“We wanted to participate in the apprentice program because we were looking to grow our team and wanted candidates that were motivated to learn our information technology industry so we could train them within our company to learn some of the most cutting-edge AI solutions,” said Nick Mihalovich, owner of RhemaWeb. “They're already making contributions. One is studying Cyber Security at Sandhills and is learning how to handle incident response cases and a much wider world of technology, and the other just graduated with an associate degree in programming, who is learning the power of AI in the development world and how it can automate. Working with the college to get the students onboarded has been a seamless process.”
RhemaWeb offers IT Consulting, Website Design and Residential Support. They work with innovative technology to drive business growth and efficiency by tailoring tech strategies to uniquely fit and elevate each business’s goals and operations.
“These positions are a collaborative effort between RhemaWeb, The Sandhills School of Business, Technology, and Entrepreneurship and the Workforce Development and Corporate Partnerships division at SCC,” said Matthew Zullo, Department Head for the School of Business, Technology and Entrepreneurship. “We’re excited to create opportunities for Sandhills graduates, as well as newer students to illustrate how workplace learning directly connects to real and meaningful employment.”
Zullo added that, through the partnership between Sandhills Community College and RhemaWeb, they are creating meaningful Information Technology career pathways that strengthen the workforce, while providing SCC students with the opportunity to receive valuable hands-on experience directly related to their academic course of study.
“These registered apprenticeships are a testament to what can be accomplished when education and industry work together with a shared commitment to developing talent,” said Jason Levister, Director of Workplace Learning Programs at Sandhills Community College.
