Vice President’s Message
P
iedmont Community College has been very busy providing educational training for the citizens of Person and Caswell counties and beyond. I am delighted to report that the Workforce Certification Academy© has been espoused across the State and nation as a best practices model for training in advanced manufacturing. It is heartwarming to see so many people getting trained AND finding employment. The Continuing Education division also implemented another Public Safety program, Basic Law Enforcement Technology (BLET). We are excited to provide training that also adds value to the quality and safety of life for our community and that provides business and industry with a well-trained workforce.

Workforce Certification Academy©
Providing training to the unemployed and underemployed who are interested in local jobs in Advanced Manufacturing, BioWorks, and Logistics.
Want to work, but can’t find the right job? Want to work locally? Want a good paying job working in a production environment? PCC’s WCA© provides short-term training in the following careers. “I believe what I learned in the Certified Production Technician training helped me find my present job and was the reason I was hired for this job. Before the training I was employed on a seasonal job without any benefits. With my new position, I am full-time with full benefits. My current position is very compatible with what I learned in the CPT training and without the training, I don’t believe that I could have found a full time position so quickly.”
Doug Long
Machine Technical Lifter, Eaton Corporation
