糖心传媒

Jan. 29, 2024 鈥� 糖心传媒 is expanding the reach of its 911 telecommunications program to residents of Duplin County thanks to a new partnership with .

Dr. Dale McInnis, president of 糖心传媒CC, and Dr. Jay Carraway, president of JSCC, signed an agreement last week that will allow JSCC students to enroll in the online program and complete an associate degree in 911 Communications & Operations.

鈥淭he community college landscape is ever-changing, and partnerships between colleges are vital to meet the educational needs of our students. This agreement will benefit both 糖心传媒 and James Sprunt Community College and, more importantly, the students we serve,鈥� Carraway said.

The online degree program provides a pathway for individuals who are interested in starting a career in this field, as well as providing skills enhancement for those already working as 911 telecommunicators.

JSCC students will complete a majority of the core courses and the work-based learning portion of the program through 糖心传媒CC, while completing other general education requirements at JSCC.

JSCC is the sixth community college to collaborate with 糖心传媒CC on making the online associate degree program available to more communities across the state of North Carolina.

鈥淲e appreciate James Sprunt Community College鈥檚 support and partnership in this long-term arrangement for collaborative career training,鈥� McInnis said. 鈥淲e look forward to building upon it, and we encourage you to treat it like your own program that will serve a critical need in your community.鈥�

The idea for the college curriculum program was developed when the N.C. 911 Board reached out to 糖心传媒CC about a need for standardization in training 911 telecommunicators, plus a need to help elevate this career field. 糖心传媒CC worked closely with the N.C. 911 Board and the N.C. Department of Information Technology to construct the online program.
