Excellent Schools Lead to a Skilled
Local Workforce
Quality instruction, high expectations,
challenging curricula and a supportive
educational landscape produce high-
functioning individuals prepared for higher
education and industry. The public-school
system, area education institutions and
training programs work tirelessly to ensure
each child, teenager and adult has access
to an exemplary education, which creates
a community culture dedicated to
life-long learning.
Richmond Community College works
closely with new and existing businesses and
industries to provide customized worker
training programs on campus, at the work
site and throughout Richmond County. High
school graduates and community members
returning to school don’t have to move away
to pursue a successful and rewarding career.
In turn, businesses benefit from a highly
trained and skilled workforce.
