🚌 Leadership Scotland Explores Local Education & Workforce Pathways! 🎓

What an incredible day with the Leadership Scotland class for our Education & Workforce Development Day! We spent the day getting an inside look at the inspiring educational opportunities, career training, and advanced technology operating right here in our region.

🎓 Richmond Community College – Scotland Campus
We kicked off the morning exploring the campus and learning about their high-demand Nursing and HVAC programs. The hands-on training provided here is preparing students for critical, high-paying local careers.

🏫 Scotland Early College High School (SEarCH)
Next, we visited SEarCH to see how students are earning college credits and associate degrees right alongside their high school diplomas—setting a high bar for academic excellence!

🛠️ Scotland County Schools (CTE Programs)
At SHS, we took a deep dive into Career & Technical Education! We toured state-of-the-art classrooms and saw students in action across their Culinary Arts, EMT, Adobe Digital Media, and Gaming Design programs. The workforce preparation happening here is top-notch!

🚁 Laurinburg-Maxton Airport
We took a high-flying turn at the airbase to learn about advanced aviation and emergency services in our area, featuring an inside look at the Gryphon Group Security Solutions Official drone technology and the vital operations of Cape Fear Mobile Intergrated Healthcare.

🦅 UNC Pembroke (UNCP)
We wrapped up our inspiring day in Pembroke with a warm welcome from Chancellor Robin Cummings, learning about UNCP’s ongoing growth, regional impact, and strong partnership with Scotland County.
