TRAINING
FOR TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY
Attracting
and training a skilled and motivated workforce is crucial to any new or
expanding company. No state
has more experience helping companies with these important issues than
North Carolina. The state
pioneered free, customized job training for new and expanding businesses
in 1958 and continues to provide the nation's most recognized customized
job training. Helping
businesses maintain their competitive edge is primary role of the North
Carolina Community Colleges and their Customized Training and Development
services. This specialized workforce training program has helped build
success for companies that now call North Carolina home, and contribute to
the multiple rankings that list North Carolina's businesses climate as one
of the best in the nation.
Eligibility
for new and expanding industry training services is determined on a
company-by-company basis. However,
criteria for obtaining services is anything but complex.
Typically, the services provided are based on the number of new
jobs created, their skill and wage levels, and the level of total capital
investment. Services are made
available to companies that create 12 or more new jobs in any one
community in North Carolina during a one-year period.
Companies that have taken advantage of program services are diverse - from auto parts and electronics manufacturers to bio-technology companies and data processing centers. Training services provided to these companies may include instructors and training program development, customized video training programs, temporary training facilities, equipment, and supplies.
The
McDowell Technical Community College has provided customized training to
companies in the area, meeting the most diverse training needs.
Because no two companies are the same, there is no "cookie
cutter" approach to training programs.
Companies benefit from tailor made programs that support their
specific needs for a skilled and knowledgeable force, today and in the
future.
QUALIFIED
INSTRUCTION AND TRAINING
A
network of skilled professionals provides industry-based experience in a
variety of technologies and disciplines.
Whether it's CNC programming, leadership training or QS
9000, qualified instructors are ready to assist in implementing the
company's job training specifications.
The
program makes instructors available at no expense to eligible new and
expanding companies. However,
sometimes the best instructor for a particular training course may be a
company employee. This is
frequently the case with certain high-tech or proprietary technology.
In this instance, the program can offset the costs of instructor
wages, "train the trainer" expenses, and travel costs of a
negotiated number of company employees that provide start-up training to
newly-employed North Carolinians.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
If
a company is not equipped to handle training on-site, employers may
utilize facilities at McDowell Technical Community College at no expense.
In fact, the program can absorb the costs of locally transporting
training equipment to and from the community college training facility.
Companies also have access to one of the most advanced fiber-optic
based distance learning systems. Through
the "North Carolina Information Highway," companies can take
advantage of real-time, interactive training opportunities in community
colleges across the state.
SUPPLIES AND
CUSTOMIZED MATERIALS
Support
to new and expanding companies includes the costs of training supplies and
materials necessary to carry our effective instruction.
In addition, depending on the size and scope of a particular
training project, the program will develop customized training materials
that may include: orientation and work process videos; computer based
training; and customized training manuals.
North Carolina's customized video programs have received both
regional and national awards.
OUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
While
start-up training assistance is significant, ongoing training support in
North Carolina is truly unique. Once a business or manufacturing site is operational, the
community college continues to serve as a training partner.
McDowell Technical Community College offers state-subsidized,
low-cost training in more than 1,200 categories, available at the
community college or the company's work site. This training is offered through the
