Career Services

Career Services provides skills assessment services, employability skills training, and career development counseling to unemployed and underemployed adults. The staff of Career Services works one-on-one with industries facing layoffs or closures; educates affected employees in developing soft skills and job seeking skills; works closely with local partners to help the workforce access available services; and serves existing industry expansions, and future employment needs by identifying and training a workforce with interview and job-readiness skills.

The core objectives of Career Services include assessment of an individual's assets and limitations, development of a positive self-concept, employability skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills, and awareness of the impact of information technology in the workplace.

Achievement of a North Carolina Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is a major goal of Career Services. NCRC course objectives will incorporate preparation for successful completion of testing related to Workplace Documents, Applied Math, and Graphic Literacy through the WorkKeys skills assessment system.
