Preparing People for Work
Occupational skill training courses are designed for the specific purposes of training an individual for new employment opportunities, upgrading skills to meet new and changing job requirements and providing training which is necessary to meet certification, recertification or continuing education requirements.
Workforce Training
Courses are offered in all occupations and vary in length according to the complexity of the skill and the need of the employee or employer. Most occupational skill training courses are developed and taught on request from a group or an employer. Courses are designed to be offered at a time and place convenient to the employee and/or employer.
Customized Training Program
The Customized Training Program supports the economic development efforts of the State by
providing education and training opportunities for eligible businesses and industries. Amended

Training Program and shall offer programs and training services to assist new and existing
business and industry to remain productive, profitable, and within the State.
The program was developed in recognition of the fact that one of the most important factors for a
business or industry considering locating, expanding, or remaining in North Carolina is the
ability of the State to ensure the presence of a well-trained workforce. The program is designed
to react quickly to the needs of businesses and to respect the confidential nature of proprietary
processes and information within those businesses.
