JobsNOW "12 in 6"

Western Piedmont Community College is offering a variety of training programs as part of the JobsNOW "12 in 6" Project. The project supports 12 occupational areas of study that will allow students to complete classes in under 6 months of time and will include workplace readiness skills and completion of a Career Readiness Certificate.

JobsNOW is funded under the Workforce Investment Act through funds made available by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009. The "12 in 6" Project is offered by the NC Department of Commerce, Division of Workforce Development and the North Carolina Community College System.
