Description:

This grant will assist South Piedmont Community College (SPCC) with increasing the number of qualified workers in Anson County through a targeted workforce outreach strategy. SPCC will identify, recruit and assess potential workers from a pool of unemployed Anson County residents. A mobile career lab will go into outlying communities where staff will provide assessments, instruction, workshops, skills development and other career-related services to participants. Once trained, individuals will earn a Career Readiness Certificate and be “certified job ready”. This project will recruit and register 300 participants, with one-third of those assessed being certified as guaranteed job ready within the first two years.
