N.C. Community College System

Abstract:

North Carolina businesses are now teaming with the state’s Community College System to train skilled workers in the fields they need. Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, for example, teaches students upholstery, pattern-making, and assembly skills to train for the furniture industry in Catawba County. Other community colleges are tailoring their programs for their respective county’s industries.
