News: Life Sciences programs expand to meet industry needs, Telicia Hunter named new director
In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the life sciences industry experienced a surge in demand for biotechnology professionals. In 2020, more than 11,000 biotechnology jobs were created in the Research Triangle.

As pharmaceutical companies around the world scrambled to develop a vaccine, local companies started calling Durham Tech more than ever before.

They needed skilled workers in their labs, and fast.

Telicia Hunter, then-Curriculum Developer for Biotechnology courses at Durham Tech, said it was a challenge, but she was up for it.

“All of a sudden, all eyes were on biotechnology – the College president, Durham and Orange Counties, the Back-to-Work Initiative, the BULLS Initiative. Covid brought a lot of awareness into our industry and companies were reaching out to us needing people trained and ready to work,” she said.

News: 2022-23 Orange County budget provides campus expansion, small business support, and student scholarship funding
The Orange County Board of Commissioners approved a new fiscal budget this week that includes $11 million for an expansion to the existing Durham Technical Community College Orange County Campus building, a new position to support small businesses, and student scholarships for high school graduates and short-term training students.

The $11 million building expansion is spread over two years to support a 13,000 – 18,000 square-foot addition to the existing 40,000-square-foot, two-story Orange County Campus building, which opened in 2008. In recent years, Durham Tech leadership has strongly advocated for more space in Orange County given the need for more programming and workforce training options.

The expansion will provide additional space for training areas such as Emergency Medical Services, new Orthopaedic Technology and short-term healthcare courses, and Plumbing and HVAC courses. In addition, the expansion will provide space for Back-to-Work courses and Small Business Center program instruction, as well as additional areas for enrollment services, financial aid, and counseling.
