COMMUNITY COLLEGES.

Greetings!

The NCCCS is a modern, unified system that is outstanding in its scope and transformative in the lives of all those it reaches.

Our "Great 58" community colleges are tirelessly fueling North Carolina's job engine, making it a greater global competitor for business and industry. Our colleges nurture entrepreneurship and support the business community by providing employers, both large and small, with an unparalleled workforce. Students who attended N.C. community colleges from July 2009 to June 2019 accounted for 33% of all North Carolina wage earners, totaling 1.7 million people and $60 billion earned in fiscal year 2020. Our graduates are loyal. Three years after graduation, 77% of community college students remain employed in North Carolina.

We have strong partnerships with business and industry in North Carolina and beyond to provide student internships, apprenticeships and customized training. We produce skilled professionals with the ability to think critically and perform expertly-technicians, practitioners, leaders.

From upskilling to reskilling to changing careers, our community colleges stand ready to provide business and industry with a well-trained workforce. In today's competitive climate, our Customized Training can deliver (students/graduates/employees) who are degreed, certified or credentialed in your economic sector. Our experts are knowledgeable across an array of sectors: Healthcare, Biopharma, Life Science, Advanced Manufacturing, Food & Beverage and many more. Take the first step by meeting with our experts who can strategically align our course offerings to meet your market needs.

We have great opportunities in March to connect with you. Please join us for the following upcoming events:

* ApprenticeshipNC Annual Conference March 15-16, Hotel Ballast, Wilmington

* Small Business Center Network Annual Conference March 15-17, Hilton Garden Inn, Hickory

This is an exciting time, and I know we will do great things together. I look forward to working with all of you.

Sincerely,

Thomas A. Stith III

IMPROVING LIVES

North Carolina's economic successes are underpinned by its skilled workers. Their role will only grow in the future, so the N.C. Community College System is ensuring they're prepared. More than 525,000 students studied at the system's 58 campuses during the 2020-2021 academic year. Many enrolled in classes and programs geared toward specific industries and companies, an approach the system has followed for more than 50 years. Discover how that strategy is improving communities and lives through the examples in this section.
