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.
