Charlotte Regional Collaborative
The Charlotte Regional Collaborative for a Global Workforce is a consortium of the 16 community colleges serving the Greater Charlotte Region. Started 20 years ago as the Charlotte Regional Workforce Development Partnership, the presidents of the member community colleges affirmed its value at the February 1, 2019 meeting.
Collaborative member colleges provide higher education, workforce development, and vocational skills training in 31 counties in two states (18 in North Carolina, 13 in South Carolina), serving 4.5 million people in an integrated, interdependent, and globally-connected regional economy that is the economic heartbeat of the Carolinas.
