“I really believe this is about the quality of our work force,” former NC Gov. Bev Perdue said in Site Selectors online publication. “We have a work force that is second to none and a community college system in 59 communities that can train specifically to industry and retrain as often as the employers’ technology demands it. That has been the constant in all of the industry hunts I have been on. Early on, businesses talk about the quality of the work force and the training they find at the community colleges.”
