After nearly 40 years, Jerry Jones returned to Research Triangle Park (RTP) as the Executive Director of the Center for Workforce Engagement at Durham Tech – helping prepare residents to meet demands in the workforce.
His career began in RTP in 1984 as a test technician with Nortel Networks. After gaining decades of experience in customized training throughout North Carolina and Virginia, he is back home and ready to make a measurable impact in the Triangle.
The Center for Workforce Engagement opened at RTP’s Frontier Campus earlier this year and will provide classroom space for customized training for new and growing businesses.
