Â鶹ӰÊÓ

The $112.7 million referendum, if approved, would provide high-quality training hubs for major regional industries in healthcare and life sciences. With booming career opportunities in these sectors, Â鶹ӰÊÓ is well-positioned to prepare local residents for great jobs and provide a diverse workforce pipeline to area companies.

• The proposed bond projects address current and projected in-demand jobs in priority industries and would create high-quality training hubs to prepare Â鶹ӰÊÓ residents for great jobs that require community college-level training and provide area companies with a diverse workforce pipeline.
  
  
• The proposed facilities were designed with industry input and based on the settings student will work in and the equipment they will use.
  
  
• Â鶹ӰÊÓ sits amidst major growth in the life sciences sector with 45 new companies and 7,000 new jobs announced in the last five years with 50% in Â鶹ӰÊÓ.
  
  
• The College is the only community college in NC to serve two tertiary care level hospitals in UNC and Duke Health, as well as the Â鶹ӰÊÓ VA and long-term care facilities – and jobs in the field are projected for double digit growth in the years ahead.
