However, there is one field where there is almost al- ways a demand — nursing. The Certified Nursing Assistant program at Surry Com- munity College, in particular, is seeing first-hand the paths to which people are turning to find a job. The college ac- cepts around 130 students into the CNA I class each se- mester and has been turning people away for the past cou- ple of years. “There are jobs available for nurse aids in home health, in hospitals, in hospice, in some doctors’ offices and in skills facilities like nursing homes or assisted living cen- ters,” said Debbie Cave, director of the nursing assistant and related programs. “They have some options.” According to Cave, between 150 and 200 people regu- larly show up to register for the 130 available slots. Stu- dents can register for the program on a first-come, first- served basis, which means those looking to get into the program tend to show up to get in line early.

SCC ranked as exceptional in Critical Success Factor Report STAFF REPORT DOBSON — Each year, the North Carolina Communi- ty College System measures eight performance indicators from the 58 community colleges. The eight measures include the progress of basic skills students; passing rates on licensure and certification for first-time test takers; performance of college transfer stu- dents; passing rates in developmental courses; student sat- isfaction of completers and non-completers; curriculum student retention, graduation, and transfer; and client sat- isfaction with customized training. Surry Community College met all eight of the perform- ance standards identified by the N.C. Community College System and is ranked as an exceptional community col- lege for the 2009-10 year.

Colleges were ranked as exceptional or not at all. “Quite a few colleges met seven measures and quite a few out for new met six. In a good year, the college would get funding for this, but it’s my understanding none is available right now.

  • The Highest Level of Grassroots Racing HERITAGE
    2020 The Highest Level of Grassroots Racing HERITAGE On behalf of all of us at the Automobile Racing Club of America, welcome to the 2020 ARCA Menards Series racing season. There is a lot of excitement for the start of our 68th season, which will for the first time see ARCA sanction two regional tours, the ARCA Menards Series East and West, formerly known as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. Just as we have since 1953, ARCA will continue to give racers a cost-effective and fair place to compete, fans an exciting at-track experience, and our partners a great platform to reach an enthusiastic and loyal customer base. The 2020 season will be one of the most memorable in ARCA’s history, with the blending of the ARCA Menards Series with the East and West to compete in the INNOVATION Sioux Chief Showdown, a ten-race challenge series that will bring together the best drivers and teams from across the country. Added to the ARCA Menards Series championship, along with the East and West series, the Showdown - a series within the overall ARCA Menards Series championship – will give drivers and teams four different championships to chase after. It’s the start of a new era, and we’re excited and grateful to have you on board. Let’s go racing, Ron Drager President, ARCA EXCITEMENT 2 1 HISTORY OF ARCA Founded in in 1953 as a Midwest-based stock car racing series, ARCA has grown to represent the most diverse national touring stock car series anywhere. Entering it’s 68th season, ARCA is the second-longest running championship racing series in the country (second only to NASCAR), and remains dedicated to fans, drivers, and sponsors at the grassroots level of the sport.
