Abstract:
Cline discusses the Hickory Metropolitan Higher Education Center. The center, which is the first of its kind in North Carolina, came into existence because of hard times in the manufacturing and high-tech industries in Catawba and surrounding counties. A once enviable unemployment rate of 2.4 percent soared to 10.2 percent in less than a year. Most of the students attending the center are unemployed, and half of them are over thirty-five years of age. Dr. Jane Everson, the director, says, “Our goal is to raise the educational attainment level and economic development level of people in this community, to help them gain and retain skills and remain in the area.”
