Randolph Community College will hold additional information sessions for its new JobsNOW training program in early December. The sessions are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1-2 p.m., and Thursday, Dec. 3, 6-7 p.m. on the Asheboro Campus, Administration/Education Center, Room 018; and Tuesday, Dec. 1, 6-7 p.m., and Thursday, Dec. 3, 10-11 a.m., at the Archdale Center, Room 321.
The JobsNOW "12 in 6" initiative, which identified 12 training areas that can be completed in 6 months or less, is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) responding to the need to get people back to work. Individual community colleges are charged with offering classes in those fields where jobs are available in their service areas. Randolph Community College has chosen four continuing education career pathways for which sustainable jobs are available in the region. All may be completed in 6 months or less and offer a wide salary range. They are 1) Nursing Assistant, (2) Office/Clerical, (3) Hospitality, and (4) Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Industrial Maintenance.
