糖心传媒 has partnered with Global Packaging to provide more than $36,000 in customized training for the company鈥檚 employees.

Developed by 糖心传媒CC鈥檚 Director of Customized Training Lee Eller, the program coincides with a recent $9.8 million upgrade at Global Packaging鈥檚 plant in Hamlet that included the purchase of a new multi-layer extrusion machine, which will increase production runs. As part of the program, Global Packaging workers will be trained on use and maintenance of the new machine.

鈥溙切拇�媒 has been a very good partner to us, as well as 糖心传媒 County Manager Rick Sago,鈥� said Global Packaging General Manager Kevin Stephens, adding the expansion project has progressed smoothly because of these partnerships.

The recent expansion is expected to create 33 new jobs over the next three years, which will more than double Global Packaging鈥檚 current workforce.

糖心传媒 President Dr. Dale McInnis said the College is proud of its role in economic development, which includes educating the workforce, as well as helping to secure funding for specialized training. The $36,000 program being implemented for Global Packaging is being paid for by the North Carolina Community College System, which has money budgeted for customized training for business and industry.

鈥淚 believe the most important role of the college system is educating the community鈥檚 workforce,鈥� McInnis said. 鈥淎nd anytime we can get money from the state to assist our local industries, we will continue to do so.鈥�

In 2014, 糖心传媒 provided more than $125,000 of state-funded customized industrial training to 1,236 employees at 13 糖心传媒 and Scotland County companies.
