Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 13th of November.
Good morning, Wake Forest.
🎓 Education
NC community colleges in the Triangle are offering fast-track programs that train workers for jobs in biopharma and public safety — enrollment has grown over 10% but waiting lists and a teacher shortage are challenges.
Johnston Community College and Wake Tech work with local companies to prepare students for immediate employment.
🏥 Health
Two Apex police officers answered a call when a veteran barricaded himself in his home over a decade ago and later checked on him after his crisis subsided.
That follow-up led them to work with crisis intervention trainer Roosevelt Richard—who helped launch the training program six months later—to develop a program that now guides law enforcement officers nationwide in assisting veterans with mental health issues.
