Twenty members of the New Bern Civitan Club recently visited the Volt Center – a workforce development training center that offers hands-on learning in various trades sponsored by Craven Community College and the Craven Community College Foundation. They attended on the invitation of Executive Director, Charles Wethington, who had recently spoken to the Club at one of its meetings.
Three specific sights were visited during the tour: various building trades – construction, HVAC, plumbing, etc., welding and metal craft – and culinary specialties – hospitality management, baking, bartending, and more.
Club members left the tour with a better understanding of the many educational opportunities available in Craven County for people of all ages who are unemployed or underemployed.
