The Business/Industry of the Year Award was presented to Dabney S. Lancaster Community College at the annual dinner meeting of the Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce and Tourism at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV, on March 7. The award was in recognition of DSLCC’s partnership with MeadWestvaco Corporation in framing a program aligned with the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) credentials to train individuals in multi-crafts, a trend that directly reflects emerging workforce needs. A common goal is the creation of standardized training and credentialing for industry.
