HAMLET — Fifteen Richmond Community College employees recently earned certificates from the Employee Career Advancement Institute developed by the college’s Workforce and Economic Development division.

This week-long training program taught the participants how to respond to challenges and opportunities in the workplace and helped them develop leadership skills that influence the decision-making process.

Completing the class were Katelynn Arner, Arlinda Billingsley, Leigha Dickerson, Julie Hogan, Lee Montrose, Susan Moore, Jill Parks, Brent Preslar, Holly Russell, Crystal Shepard, Don Smeigh, Annie Smith, Melissa Smith, Patsy Stanley and Terry Thompson.

This fall, the college is once again partnering with the Richmond County Chamber of Commerce to provide the Richmond County Leadership Institute.

This is a two-section leadership development program. In section one, RichmondCC will provide classroom training; in section two, the Chamber will provide community tours in education, agriculture, healthcare, business and industry.

The dates for Section 1 are Sept. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Cost is $125. Section 2 will run from Oct. 3 through Nov. 28. Cost is $90. Participants can save $15 by signing up for both sections for $200.

For more information or to sign up, contact Seth Allen with the Richmond County Chamber of Commerce at (910) 895-9058 or [email protected].
