Robeson Community College has announced that it will host its first Fall Festival at the COMtech location in Pembroke on Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The festival will be a celebration of the changing of the seasons, as well as an opportunity to highlight student success and community support of the RCC COMtech site.
The event will feature free haircuts by barber students and free chair massages by massage therapy students, two programs housed at COMtech. In addition, there will be craft vendors, food trucks and a flu shot clinic hosted by Walmart.
“We are excited about this opportunity to showcase our COMtech location and bring awareness to the programs available through Robeson Community College in Pembroke,” stated RCC President Melissa Singler in a press release. “COMtech offers many opportunities for continuing education and workforce development.”
Some of the programs available at COMtech include the above-mentioned barbering and massage therapy, but also manicurist or nail technology, esthetician, nurse aide I and adult high school. Throughout the semester other short-term training courses may also be offered at the Pembroke location.
“We are hoping for a large crowd,” stated Eric Freeman, Vice President of Workforce and Continuing Education at Robeson Community College, in a press release. “Everyone in the community is invited to attend. We hope you’ll take time to come out and support our continuing education and CCR students.”
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to register for continuing education classes offered at COMtech as well as those offered on the main campus in Lumberton.
“We have many training opportunities available that will begin in November, December and throughout the Spring 2024 semester,” Freeman said in a press release. “Our shortterm training leads to long-term careers in healthcare, business and industry.”
The event is free and open to the public. COMtech is located at 124 Livermore Drive in Pembroke, directly off Hwy 711. In the event of rain, the event will be held on Monday, Oct. 30.
