CCC Announces Job Training Academies
Cleveland Community College will offer six Academies this spring that provide entry-level skills training and credentials that local employers have said they need. If you are un-employed, under-employed or finishing high school soon, come to a required orientation session to learn more about career training. November 17 or December 15 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Jack Hunt Building, room 1138. To register for an orientation or get more information, please call 704.669.4015 or email coned@clevelandcc.edu. Academies offered in the spring semester include: Robotics, Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Technology, Firefighter, EMT-Basic, Pharmacy Technician and Furniture. "CCC Academy programs provide specific job-skills training and also prepare the student to navigate the job interview successfully and to work in a team environment once they land that new job," said Ken Mooney, vice president of Continuing Education. "Students might also complete an Academy and decide to pursue a degree or diploma in that area. In some cases, their Academy work may count as credit toward a degree program giving them a huge head start." As part of its mission, Cleveland Community College works with employers county-wide to develop appropriate training with a goal of providing solid, long-term employment for members of the community.
