Central Carolina Community College hit a record with its fall semester, enrolling more than 5,000 students in curriculum and more than 2,500 in continuing education classes. Many are displaced workers retraining for new careers. Occupational programs – those that prepare people for entry into the workforce – showed the greatest enrollment increases. Among these is Industrial Systems Technology, which trains students to maintain and repair machinery and building systems. Practicing on a Hydraulic Trainer, which teaches controlling the flow of petroleum-based fluids, are (from front) James Flynn, of Johnsonville; Chris Jackson, of Erwin; and Daniel Wood, of Mamers. Each was laid off from his job when his company down-sized. For more information on programs at the college, visit its web site, www.cccc.edu.
