CCCC will offer its BioWork certificate program in Dunn starting April 15. The program is aimed at helping students secure entry-level jobs as process technicians, kickstarting careers in North Carolina’s thriving Biotech industry.
To earn the widely-recognized BioWork certificate, students will take one class that lasts about two months. Students take part in flexible online learning and also participate in hands-on, in-person instruction two evenings per week.
That in-person learning will take place in the county’s newly renovated Harnett Advanced Technology Training Center at 600 South Magnolia Avenue on Monday and Wednesday evenings, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.
“BioWork has definitely made me well prepared for my job,” said Curtis Bright in a press release. Bright is a CCCC BioWork alumnus and manufacturing associate at CSL Seqirus, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flu vaccines. “It gave me a great understanding of what I can expect.
Bright takes satisfaction that his work is positively impacting millions of people, and he said the program helps students get set for life.
“You are really engrossed in a career and not just a job,” he added in a press release.
