BCCC offers pre-employment training in Hyde County

    Beaufort County Community College's Division of Continuing Education will be offering a two-part class to assist people who desire to become more employable.

    The first part of the class will cover basic computer skills to increase confidence and ability with technology. The second part of the class will make use of these new skills to help participants earn a Career Readiness Certification (CRC). A CRC is a nationally recognized credential that highlights several essential skills sought by employers. Instructor guided preparation and on-line study will assist students in gaining this valuable certification. Local industries, like PCS Phosphate, Aurora and PAS now attach CRC training to their hiring process.

    This class will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6 pm to 9:00 pm, beginning on April 3, 2012, and will end on May 29. Students will meet at the Hyde Davis Enterprise Center located at 33460 Highway 264, in Engelhard, NC.

    This class is offered free of charge to dislocated workers, workers who have been notified of impending lay-off, and any others who qualify. For those who do not qualify for free tuition, the registration fee is $150 ($120 registration, $30 testing fee). Registration will be accepted at the first class meeting. To reserve a space in this class, please contact Clay Carter at 252-940-6357 or clayc@beaufortccc.edu.
