| CCC And Clearwater Paper Teaming Up For CRC Certification |
|
Clearwater Paper will soon be setting up shop in Cleveland County and on October 15, will begin taking applications through the Cleveland County Employment Security Commission. Clearwater Paper officials have stated preference will be given to new hire applicants holding a Career Readiness Certificate (CRC). According to Dr. Barbara Greene, CCC Vice President of Continuing Education, the CRC ensures that workers have the basic skills needed to perform a job. Greene also states that CCC will add pretests, skill-up dates, and testing dates to its schedule to ensure everyone who is interested in taking the CRC can do so. “We are in the process of adding additional dates and times. We want to make this test as available as we possibly can for anyone interested in applying to Clearwater Paper,” Greene adds. For information on the CRC, including dates and times for testing, visit clevelandcommunitycollege.edu or call 704-484-4015.
Other requirements for new hires include a high school diploma or GED, US citizen or a work visa, 18 years of age, two years work history, and a physical, drug screen and background check for those offered employment.
In June, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue along with Clearwater Paper Executives announced that the company planned to invest $260 million and hire 250 workers over the next five years to build a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Shelby. The plant will be located on Washburn Switch Road and will make private-label tissue products for retail grocery chains throughout the Southeast and along the East Coast.
