Workforce Development
New and Expanding Industry & Focused
Industrial Training
Creating more
and better paying jobs by promoting the expansion
of existing industries and by attracting new
industries to the state was a major consideration
in the original establishment of the industrial
education centers. The N.C. Community College
System, working with the local college, will
develop and fund legitimate training programs,
tailor-made for each industry, to meet the
immediate trained manpower needs when the plant,
new or expanded, is ready to go into production.
In the process of doing this, the college will
help the plant management develop a long-range
training program of its own to meet those replacement
and retraining needs that industry should and
can be prepared to do for itself. For more
information on New and Expanding Industry,
go to www.ncccs.cc.nc.us/Business_and_Industry/neit.htm.
ECC also offers special customized training
classes for business and industry. Funded
through a grant, the Focused
Industrial Training program enables the college to offer small
enrollment classes targeting very specific
skills critical to a particular organization.
Programs are directed toward workers who need
to renew their skills and technical knowledge.

Training, go to www.ncccs.cc.nc.us/Business_and_Industry/fit.htm.
