SANFORD - "First Class Opportunity. Leading Workforce Partner."

That was the message delivered by Central Carolina Community College President Dr. Lisa M. Chapman and college staff to area legislators during a Legislative Delegation Breakfast on Tuesday, Jan. 25, at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic & Conference Center.

Attending either in person or virtually were the area legislative delegation, along with business and industry partners, area economic development officials, as well as members of the CCCC Board of Trustees and various college staff.

Officials also learned several "worthy investment" facts:

  • One out of every 32 jobs in the CCCC Service Area is supported by the activities of CCCC and its students.
  • Annually, the students' investment in CCCC has an average internal rate of return of 24.4 percent, which is impressive compared to the U.S. stock market's 30-year average rate of return of 10.6 percent.
