We serve job-seekers and businesses, providing resources to develop a skilled workforce that meets employer needs. Job-seekers can • build a resume and interview skills, • create a career mission statement, • join a job-search team, • network with employers and peers, • attend workshops; and/or • receive an occupational skills or on-the-job training grant. By focusing on gaining a deep understanding of the talent needs of local, relocating and expanding businesses, we tailor resources and training dollars to meet specific industry needs through • customized recruiting tools; • assessment of hiring needs; • training grants for skilled/new/incumbent workers; • workshops; and • valuable local labor market data and forecasts. Graduating with a high school diploma is no longer enough for students entering a more competitive marketplace; additional training is imperative. Youth Works empowers eligible youth ages 16 to 21 (in- and out-of-school) to achieve academic and employment success through • tutoring/dropout-prevention strategies; • summer employment; • paid/unpaid work experiences; • occupational-skills training; • leadership development and more. Our NCWorks Career Centers are unique settings where job-seekers and employers both can access resources to succeed and drive economic growth in our region: • 5601 Executive Center Dr., Ste. 100, 28212; and • 7140 Forest Point Blvd., Ste. A, 28217.
