WHAT IS 12 FOR LIFE

12 For Life is a unique partnership between Southwire Manufacturing and Florence City Schools. By combining traditional classroom instruction with jobs inside a real manufacturing plant, students are sure to receive a balanced education. 

12 For Life has had more than 2000 graduates since 2007. Students attend school for a portion of the day and work at Southwire for the other portion of the day. Students spend their time learning important work and life skills. They get the best of both worlds by working regular hours, earning actual wages, and most importantly, learning skills they will need to carry them through a lifetime of success.
