Alamance Community College (ACC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding agreement with Dexco Machining and Fabrication, the third new NCEdge Customized Training Project partner this year for the college.
The agreement stipulates that ACC’s Corporate Education and Economic Development division will provide 100 hours of customized training for six classes that will train Dexco employees in courses that include Quality Improvement, Team Building, and OSHA.
Signing the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) documents to seal the partnership on November 27 were Shannon Huffman, President of Dexco Machining and Fabrication, and Bettina Akukwe, Associate Vice President of Corporate Education and Economic Development at ACC.
“Dexco is one of many thriving small businesses in Alamance County that often flourish quietly without major attention. We are proud to support Dexco in training their employees, contributing to the company's growth and continued success,” said Akukwe.
Funding for the NCEdge Customized Training Project is provided by the NC General Assembly and the NC Community College System, with Alamance Community College administering the training support funds and arranging classes and instructors for each project.
