BCC faculty takes part in internship program

Brunswick Community College recently had four faculty members intern at five local business/agencies as a part of its College Tech Prep Faculty Internship Program.

The program helps faculty members gain firsthand experience with new technology, gives them the opportunity to bring new knowledge into classrooms and bridges the gap between the education system and the business sector.

The Brunswick County College Tech Prep Consortium, a joint effort between Brunswick County Schools, Brunswick Community College and local businesses, serves to develop students’ abilities, skills and knowledge in a way that will enable them to successfully enter into college, community college and/or the workforce with greater competence and to provide opportunities for all students to establish clear and realistic career goals.

The following businesses participated in the faculty internship program: Brunswick County Government Finance Department, Smart Start of Brunswick County, Cape Fear Community College Child Development Center, New Hanover Regional Medical Center Health Information Department and PPD.
