Richmond Community College: Impacting Our Community
Richmond Community College is unique in that our focus goes beyond traditional students to meet the needs of our community. Richmond and Scotland counties have two of the highest unemployment rates in North Carolina, and we’re working to bring those down while improving the lives of the people in our community. We know that often when you’re successful and satisfied with your work, you are much happier in your personal life, which can affect all of the people around you.
At RichmondCC, we achieve our mission by offering programs for high school students, adult students and off-campus students, as well as resources available to our entire community. Whether you’re looking for great employees or wanting to grow your business in Laurinburg or Hamlet, NC, Richmond Community College has the tools to help you succeed.
RichmondCC offers a wide variety of short-term, noncredit courses to individuals, businesses and industries in the local communities. We work closely with local employers, business partners and students to create relationships that offer professional benefits and growth for everyone.
