Economic Growth Leads to Expansion Connextions
Will Add 200 Jobs in Concord Connextions, a contact center in Concord, is “about to explode,” according to senior vice-president Tracey Ayers. The company plans to hire more than 200 employees by September 1, 2007 which means it would have about 550 employees total. The company is based in Orlando, Florida, but expanded to Concord last year. Last month, it acquired bConnected Software in Boulder, Colorado, a company that health professionals turn to for help with technology.
The
new employees, who will be hired in the next 90 days, will
get a rare chance to see the inside of the building, which
is more than 40,000 square feet of decorated space. “We don’t want to be just another business,” she said. “We want to be part of the community.” When Connextions finishes hiring at the end of the year, it will be the county’s 15th largest employer, according to the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Centralina Workforce Development Board is proud to partner with the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce to help current businesses in the region continue to expand. It’s the great workforce in this region that continues to allow productive companies in the area to grow. A qualified workforce is job one for the Centralina Workforce Development Board.

South Piedmont Community College Receives Funding for Career Readiness Certification
South
Piedmont Community College
(SPCC) has been approved to serve as a Career Readiness Certification
(CRC) site in North Carolina. They will receive an allocation of
$28,000 from the North
Carolina Community College System.
As reported in the June 2007 Centralina Workforce Development Board’s E-Newsletter, SPCC held a kickoff for the CRC program which was funded by the Board. The additional funding received will help implement the CRC program in both Anson and Union counties. The program has started in Anson County already and will begin in Union County this fall.
The Career Readiness Certification is a state program that is designed to equip individuals with a recognizable skill certification that facilitates job placement, retention, and advancement. The Career Readiness Certification helps to ensure a community workforce that is prepared for the jobs of the future, as well as jobs that sustain the current economic base.
There
are three levels of certificates awarded, Bronze, Silver, and Gold,
all based on WorkKeys Assessments. These assessments can be used
by any entity concerned about the employability skills of current
and future employees. Test results provide valuable information
for individuals, employers, colleges, JobLink Career Centers, and
skills training programs.
With
the launch of the new site at South Piedmont Community College the
Career Readiness Certificate Program is available to every business
and job seeker in the Centralina region. Other sites that already
offering the program (with additional funding assistance provided
by the Centralina WDB) are Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Mitchell
Community College, Stanly Community College, and Gaston College
– Lincoln Campus. Job seekers can pre-test for the CRC program
at the local JobLink Career Centers in the region.
This was the goal that the Centralina Workforce Development Board
set for itself and the goal has been achieved. Through the implementation
of this program throughout the region it can guarantee a well prepared
and qualified workforce. A well prepared and qualified workforce
leads to economic development and an overall better quality of life
in the region.
“In
today’s society, there’s no room for dropouts, for an
unskilled workforce. We need individuals with all the skills to
make a difference,” stated David Hollars,
Executive Director of the Centralina Workforce Development Board.
If you are a job seeker and would like to get started on the process of getting your Career Readiness Certificate to better market your skills to a new employer or to your current one, please contact your local JobLink Career Center. The staff at the JobLink Center can help you get started with the pre-assessment and the WorkKeys assessment, as well as connect you to your local community college to get your certificate. To find your local JobLink Career Center please click here.
If you are an employer and would like to talk with someone more about the WorkKeys Assessment and the Career Readiness Certification please contact your local JobLink Career Center. The staff at the JobLink Center can explain the assessment and the certificate and fit it to your business and your needs. To find your local JobLink Career Center please click here.
The Centralina Workforce Development Board is proud to partner with the JobLink Career Centers and the region’s community colleges to help train the workforce for the future.

Goodwill Expands to Serve More of the Community
Goodwill Industries Opens a Career Connection Center in Rowan County and Has Plans for Cabarrus County
Goodwill
Industries has recently opened a Career Connections
Center in Rowan County and plans to build two new stores in Cabarrus
County.
The facilities should help Goodwill Industries use the wealth of a growing region to help laid-off residents who are struggling. Goodwill plans to place stores in affluent areas of the Charlotte region to receive quality donations, and then will use the proceeds to fund its career assistance programs.
“We need that affluence,” Bo Hussey, marketing and communications director for the Southern Piedmont Territory said. “We can’t provide those very basic services without those people making those donations.”
The Charlotte-based Southern Piedmont Territory, which covers Concord, is planning to open a store at Poplar Tent Road and George Lies Boulevard in the first half of 2008.
The Winston-Salem based Northwest Territory, which covers Kannapolis, is planning to open a store on Dale Earnhardt Boulevard by December.
All
of the Goodwill stores fund the Goodwill Career Centers. The Rowan
County Career Center has served about 75 people and
placed 16 into jobs since its opening in April 2007. The next closest
Goodwill centers are in Statesville and Lexington. The Career Centers
help provide free personalized attention for job seekers who lack
basic skills, such as computer training or resume building.
The Goodwill Career Centers work closely with the local JobLink Career Centers. The centers send individuals to the JobLink Career Centers for referrals to potential employers and for other services.
The Centralina Workforce Development Board is a proud partner with Goodwill Industries and the JobLink Career Centers to offer the region’s job seekers services that assist them in reaching their goals. The Board promotes continuous improvement within the workforce. The Board believes that a qualified workforce is job one. To find out more about the Rowan County Goodwill Career Center, please call (704) 638-6434. To find out more about the Centralina Workforce Development Board, please contact David Hollars at (704) 348-2717 or by email at dhollars@centralina.org.

Salisbury-Rowan Community Action, Inc. Holds its 3rd Annual Summer Youth Employment Kickoff The week long summit was held at the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Business and Technology Center in Concord. The summit focused on ethics and the real word concepts, which included banking, budgeting and job skills, such as resume development, interviewing and retention skills. The ethics training was lead by Thomas Barksdale II and dealt with the concepts on moral principles of values held by individuals or a group. The youth were divided into several groups of 4 to 5 and were given an Ethical Case Study to talk about and to develop a Code of Ethics. For the resume and interviewing session, City of Salisbury employees, Renay Caldwell and Ruth Chaparroc conducted the mock interview session, and gave tips on cover letters, resume building, and how to complete an application. Youth were allowed to set up make-believe corporations and conducted actual potential staff interviews. The Summit ended with fun activities that included a trip to visit the Bobcat Arena for the Oak Hill Alumni Basketball game. The youth received souvenirs and signed autographs from Carmello Anthony from the Denver Nuggets, Josh Smith from the Atlanta Hawks, and Jerry Stackhouse from the Dallas Mavericks.
The Centralina Workforce Development Board and the Centralina Youth Council are proud to partner with the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action, Inc. to offer the youth in our region programs and services that will help them grow their educational career as well as in their professional career.

Salisbury-Rowan
Community Action, Inc.
The
real world training used the Career Exploration Inventory
(CEI) Assessment to determine a possible career/occupational
interest for the youth. After the CEI assessment the youth
were given information on occupational salaries, and benefits,
then developed a budget based on their everyday necessities.
A
total of 25 youth took advantage of the above concepts and
began work on July 2, 2007 to put some of the learned concepts
into a real work experience. The summer work experience
began on July 2, 2007 and will end on August 2, 2007. This
gives the youth a five-week job working 35-40 hours making
about $6.50 per hour at different job sites around the county.
