Thanks to the CFCC Team
I’ve always had the dream of having my own transportation company but never expected to be this close to achieving my dreams this fast. I have gained skills and confidence that I will carry with me forever, thanks to the amazing education team at CFCC.

Boat Building by the Water
I chose CFCC because it was much more affordable than other schools, and, being in Wilmington, it is surrounded by water... so, I enrolled in the Boat Building program at CFCC. It was compact, intense, in-state, and exactly what I was looking for.

It's never too late
Education provides opportunities and keeps all avenues open for your future. I want them [my grandchildren] to know the importance of education and to inspire them to be leaders and never stop striving for improvement. It is never too late, at any age, to complete your education or improve yourself through education.

Cooking with Purpose
In the culinary program, everything finally clicked for me, and I knew I was doing what I was meant to do. I have such fond memories of going through the program at CFCC. It was such a cool time in my life.

Career-Ready, Thanks to CFCC
I credit the quality of training and CFCC’s reputation for helping me immediately find a new job. The day after my internship ended, I received an interview request from Trillium Health Resources, where I am now employed.

Two Generations, One School
CFCC’s Barber School program gave me all the tools and the foundation I needed to set up my shop. Once my son saw how well CFCC worked for me, he signed up as soon as he graduated from high school.
