The future is here at FTCC! 🤖

We celebrated the grand opening of the SparkLab in our General Classroom Building last week, showing off another resource for students eager to learn using the latest technology.

SparkNC gives students opportunities to explore exciting, high-demand fields like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, computer systems engineering, and software and game development. Through hands-on learning, industry connections, and real-world experiences, Spark Scholars build the skills and confidence to prepare for high-wage, high-impact careers.

🌟 Creating a Stronger Healthcare Workforce in Rural NC 🌟

Golden LEAF Foundation is proud to support eight community colleges with over $4.1 million to expand healthcare training and address critical staffing shortages. From modernizing facilities to creating healthcare academies, these initiatives are building a stronger workforce for our rural and economically distressed communities.

Examples include:
Beaufort County Community College's new Lisa Long Nursing Simulation Lab is a game-changer for nursing education, while Gaston College's Lincoln County Health Academy is paving the way for future healthcare professionals. Fayetteville Technical Community College's Cardiovascular Technology program is set to transform cardiovascular care training in the Sandhills Region.

Together, we're creating sustainable talent pipelines and strengthening local economies. Let's celebrate this investment in our communities and the future of healthcare in North Carolina!
