      Durham Tech recently partnered with the Kramden Institute to host a job skills computer class. The class covered topics such as office programs and virus protection, resume building, and forming and maintaining a professional online life/presence.

      At the end of the four-hour course, each participant was awarded a free refurbished laptop equipped with Windows 11 software to serve their academic needs. 💻📚

      This was a pilot class offering with the hopes of being able to offer future courses with the same incentive/reward for class participation.

      Meet Elliott, a recent graduate of two Information Technology programs at Durham Tech. While he originally planned to transfer to a four-year university, he says he found a true sense of belonging here—thanks in large part to the support of his instructors. Now, he’s headed to an internship with Nutanix! 👏

      This transformative opportunity will allow us to renovate the current food pantry on Main Campus, create a new food pantry at our Orange County Campus, as well as add snack carts at the Northern Durham Center and Duke Street North locations.

      In 2024, the pantry provided 64,538 pounds of food, impacting 6,822 people, including households with children.

      Thank you, Food Lion!
