Forbes has released its Best Employers By State list, naming Cumberland County Schools (CCS) as one of North Carolina’s best employers for a second time.
Ranked #47 out of 100 in-state employers, CCS is one of only two school districts on the list, joined by Buncombe County Schools.
Forbes gathered the data by surveying over 160,000 employees from companies with a workforce of at least 500 people across the United States. Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10, and Forbes ranked the 1,294 employers that received the highest scores.
“In Cumberland County Schools, we are committed to building strong talent pathways through professional development, career advancement opportunities and ensuring our premier professionals are set up for success,” said Superintendent Dr. Marvin Connelly, Jr. in a press release. “Being recognized once again as an outstanding workplace is truly an honor, and it reflects our dedication to investing in our people.”
CCS is the second-largest employer in the county, surpassed only by the military. With over 6,000 full-time staff, including more than 3,000 certified teachers, the district works collaboratively to create a safe, engaging and unique learning environment for nearly 50,000 students.
