News Release:

    Beaufort County Community College this week has announced the launch of a new career exploration tool available to students, prospective students and members of the community free of charge.

    Known as Career Coach, the career exploration tool is available on the BCCC website at www.beaufortccc.edu.

    "Beaufort County Community College is proud to offer this valuable career source tool to our students and to members of the community," said college President Barbara Tansey in announcing the availability of Career Coach. "It will not only help our region's young people who are just beginning to explore career choices, it will also help our mid-career residents who want to upgrade their skills or explore new career possibilities."

    Through a simple keyword search, any visitor to BCCC's website can learn about the employment prospects of careers they want to search.

    The real-time information is customized to BCCC's geographic region and includes detailed wage estimates and up-to-date job postings associated with any career.

    Career Coach users will also be directed to related instructional programs at BCCC when searching for specific jobs.

    If a career doesn't look like the right fit, individuals can search for similar jobs and see the skills needed to move to that career.

    They can also search for careers based on the college's top training programs or the program or major that interests them.

    Career Coach also includes a built-in resume builder to help students and job-seekers quickly and efficiently put together an updated resume with key skills and job experience highlighted.

    Career Coach has been made available to BCCC through the N.C. Advanced Manufacturing Alliance, a consortium of community colleges funded by a U.S. Department of Labor grant to help community colleges across the state upgrade the skills of their graduates entering careers in manufacturing and industry.

    Career Coach is just the latest career-building tool offered at BCCC. The college operates a Career Center under the direction of Sandria McFadden that helps students prepare resumes, find an interesting career and search for jobs in the region. The center is located in Building 9 on the BCCC campus. For information about these services, contact McFadden at (252) 940-6353 or by email at sandymcf@beaufortccc.edu.

    For more information about Career Coach or to schedule a demonstration of it for your group, contact Jay Sullivan, vice president of Research and Institutional Effectiveness, at (252) 940-6203 or by email at jayms@beaufortccc.edu.


    Beaufort County Community College is a public comprehensive community college committed to accessible and affordable quality education, effective teaching, relevant training, and lifelong learning opportunities for the people served by the College.
