5. 2012 – 2013KEY FINDINGS The North Carolina Back to Work program is a skills training program designed to provide credential attainment in high-growth industries to people facing long- term unemployment that was funded by the General Assembly with $5 million in one-time money. That funding was subsequently supplemented by $2.5 million in Workforce Investment Act funds through the Commission on Workforce Development. This training program was designed to target people who have been unemployed for 26 weeks or more and those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits. In 2011, 46 percent of the state’s unemployed have been out of work for 26 weeks or more. Sixteen community colleges applied to be Back to Work sites and met the criteria for acceptance. The criteria included the following: 1) the number of long-term unemployed individuals in the college’s service area, 2) the percentage of long-term unemployed individuals in the college’s service area, 3) the availability of jobs for which the NC Back to Work program could prepare students, and 4) the college’s demonstrated willingness and ability to successfully implement the program. 2013 – 2014 UPDATES The NC Back-to-Work program provides pre-employment training for entry-level technical jobs. Training will be short-term and focused on skill competencies that lead to industry-recognized or state-regulated credentials. Integrated into the training program will be employability skills, workplace safety/OSHA credentials, and preparation for the Career Readiness Certification. Target population expanded to reflect workforce needs: unemployed and underemployed North Carolinians, Military Veterans, and NC National Guard members. Forty-nine community colleges applied to be NC Back-to-Work sites and met the criteria for acceptance. Five colleges were funded for a second priority as well. Training programs are aligned with approved occupational clusters: manufacturing, construction trades, information technology, transportation and bioag/natural resources. 2013 HRD - CRC TRAINING ACADEMY 5 NC Back-to-Work
