North Carolina workshop focuses on workforce and education trends.
North Carolina’s Mount Airy News (4/10, Thompson) reported that “during a joint staff development workshop at Surry Community College” this week, teachers, staff, and SCC faculty were told that “students, their parents and teachers need to remember that education doesn’t necessarily mean a four-year college degree.” According to the Mount Airy News, “The workshop was the culmination of a yearlong E2 program, which helps educators better prepare their students for the job market in part by introducing them to area businesses and workforce trends.” Those attending the workshop “learned about growing and declining industries in Surry County and the state, as well preparing students for an economy in which businesses use global labor forces and technology to improve their bottom line.” Workshop participants “also heard from Salem College math professor Paula Young, who researched the skills required for seven high-growth, high-salary jobs and demonstrated the importance of math in each.”
