A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Cape Fear Community College
|
|
Dear Sea Devil Community,
It is hard to believe CFCC has reached the midpoint of the Spring semester. Students are beginning to think about summer plans, and we've begun registering new students for summer and fall classes. If you know someone who is considering CFCC for their educational journey, please share the news about CFCC's Spring Open House events. We encourage everyone to join us and discover the programs that CFCC offers, meet the faculty and staff, and tour our campuses.
We are proud to announce the launch of a new program, Medical Laboratory Technology. The application period is open now for the upcoming fall semester. Seats in our Health Science programs generally fill up quickly, so please urge those who might be interested to apply.
Another way we are helping students prepare for their next step is by expanding our Apprenticeship programs. We recently recognized 17 new Automotive Technician apprenticeship partners who will help our students learn on the job. These valuable partnerships help our students learn best practices to help them succeed in the workplace after graduation. CFCC apprenticeship programs are beneficial to students, employers, and the community.
As always, more information about our programs and services can be found at CFCC.EDU for more information.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
|

Jim Morton, CFCC President |

Congratulations to the newest Truck Driver Training graduates, class 239! We are so proud of all you have accomplished and can’t wait to see where the road takes you!
The demand for truck drivers is at an all-time high. Last year, the college graduated hundreds of new truck drivers into the industry. Day and evening classes are available.

|
From Our Graduates
"I chose to take this program and become a truck driver because I wanted to travel, but get paid for it. Things just fell in place and before you knew it my husband and I already had a job! It was kind of a retirement plan because our original plan was to travel in an RV. We got jobs as truck drivers at Schneider National, Inc. We are flying to Phoenix, Arizona to start training on March 14. I plan to create a VLOG about our experience."
