Receiving the check on behalf of the college were (from left) Dr. Pamela Senegal, CCCC vice president of Economic and Community Development; CCCC President Dr. Bud Marchant; Emily Hare, CCCC Foundation and Development Office director; and Celia Hurley, CCCC vice president of Institutional Advancement. The CC Works initiative will place an advisor in each public high school in the college's service area of Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties. The advisors will assist students in enrolling, tuition-free, in CCCC classes related to their vocational or educational goals while still in high school. Duke Energy has also awarded the college a $233,950 grant for high technology workforce training.

Contributions to the Central Carolina Works initiative can be made to the CCCC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization affiliated with, but independent of, the college. It receives donations of money and equipment on behalf of CCCC and uses them to promote the educational mission of the college and assist students through scholarships and grants.
