Education: Community College


Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC)

Guilford Technical Community College provides customized, industry-specific workforce training programs to help companies achieve a world-class workforce.  Most classes are taught at the business site, although they can be taught at a GTCC campus or another site.  GTCC can help a company determine training needs and develop customized programs to meet those needs. The college is committed to promoting economic growth in the community through the following initiatives: 

Focused Industrial Training
Funded through a state grant, the FIT program does not have the enrollment constraints other programs do, so GTCC can offer customized, small-enrollment classes in skills critical to a particular manufacturing company. Programs are directed toward workers who need to renew their skills and technical knowledge.

New and Expanding Industry 
GTCC can train workers to exact job requirements. This training is state-funded and is available to any new or expanding company that creates a minimum of 12 new jobs in the state. Regardless of the company's location, size, product or service, GTCC can provide a custom-designed employee training program at virtually no cost.

Occupational Extension and On-Site Training Programs
This program provides affordable training for existing businesses starting with an on-site meeting to assess the client's needs followed by a customized training program that can be delivered at a GTCC campus or at the business facility. The training is designed to minimize disruption to the business's schedule.
