Business and Industry Services
New and Expanding Industry
This program provides for the training needs of industries new to Iredell
County and also for existing companies that are undergoing a major expansion,
which results in the addition of twelve or more new production jobs. The
training program is administered by Mitchell Community College and serves
the total
college service area of Iredell County. The state of North Carolina funds
the new and expanding industry program, with the funds being supplemental
to the
overall college operational budget. Flexible training programs are designed
cooperatively with the industry and local college personnel, with customization
the primary criterion for meeting the particular needs of each industry.
Focused
Industrial Training The Focused Industrial Training Program was created by the North Carolina
Community College System to strengthen the partnership for training between
the private industrial community and the local community college in an effort
to maintain a trained work force on an on-going basis. This program is able
to address changes in new technologies by providing customized training. Focused Industrial Training can serve the training needs of an existing industry's
skilled and semi-skilled work force through a cooperative effort in assessing
training needs and delivery of training associated with industrial occupations.
This program fills training needs that are outside the guidelines for occupational
extension, new and expanding industry, and the vocational and/or technical
curriculum.
