Martin Community College
Training and education are essential to business and industry of any size. Locate your company at the NETBC and benefit from Martin Community Colleges special services and courses. The College works through a variety of programs to meet training needs including:

  • NEIT (New & Expanding Industry Training)
    Qualified new, expanding, and existing industries can request training through NEIT. In cooperation with the Economic and Workforce Development Division of the NC Community College System, MCC will design and administer these special training programs. NEIT services are state-funded and intended for eligible new industries and/or for industrial expansions that create 12 or more new jobs within a year in a North Carolina community.

  • FIT (Focused Industrial Training) 
    Designed to serve the special needs of existing North Carolina manufacturing industries, FIT's focus is on critical skills that change as technology changes. FIT uses individualized needs assessments and consultations to design and implement this customized training targeting skilled and semi-skilled workers, industrial maintenance workers, and leaders of personnel who perform industrial processes. FIT courses may address skills such as machine fixers, statistical process control, welding, CNC machining, industrial maintenance and troubleshooting, blueprint reading and team performance. The state-funded FIT program helps offset the costs associated with providing training. 

  • North Carolina Manufacturing Certification Program
    This training program includes courses in teamwork and communications, mathematics and measurements, problem solving, and others custom-designed for each company. Manufacturers may also elect to offer the entire certification program for their workforce.

  • Occupational Extension Classes
    Occupational Extensions Classes provides extensive training for business and industry and typically involves both classroom and on-site instruction. Program flexibility allows courses to be tailored to specific group needs.  Examples of classes include Supervisory Training, Programmable Logic Controls, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, Computer classes and Industrial Maintenance classes.

  • MCC Small Business Center
    The Small Business Center offers critical help for small businesses and their employees through seminars, workshops, classes, and one-on-one confidential counseling. The Center is part of a statewide network of experts and professionals actively participating in the economic development of their communities.
