The goals of Organizational Development and Learning is to support specific college wide initiatives.
Durham Technical Community College has officially launched the Back-to-Work Initiative, which provides short-term courses to help residents in the community gain immediate employment in growing industries.
In September 2022, the Newton Makerspace was unveiled on Main Campus -- made possible by a contribution from Newton Instrument Company. The need for the high-tech makerspace was identified in 2018 when college leadership recognized the increase in industrial trades and the need to attract more students into this growing field. This type of collaborative, project-based learning environment would mirror the workplace through innovation -- supporting students in engineering, skilled trades, construction, art, welding, and design.
Durham Technical Community College has announced longtime Durham Tech leader Dr. Kara Battle as the College’s new Chief Academic Officer after a nationwide search and interview process.
Battle, the former Dean of Science and Math programs at Durham Tech, was instrumental in restructuring the College into Guided Career Pathways and in merging continuing education and curriculum programs in recent years. Since Spring 2021, Battle has held the Interim Chief Academic Officer role following the departure of Dr. Susan Paris.

In August at Convocation 2024, Durham Tech celebrated the start of the academic year, welcomed new staff and reunited established colleagues.
