Partnerships like these create opportunities that go far beyond the classroom. 🛠️🇺🇸

Students in the Building Construction Program at Wilkes Community College recently completed a project for the local VFW, gaining valuable hands-on experience while giving back to the community. In appreciation of their hard work and dedication, the VFW presented Shane Allen, Lead Instructor for Building and Construction Technologies, with a generous $1,000 donation to support the program and its students.

Community partnerships help prepare our students for the workforce while making a lasting impact right here at home. We are grateful for the support of organizations like the VFW and proud of the incredible work our students continue to accomplish.

Where can a WCC degree take you?
For Cole Lovette, it became the foundation for opportunity, confidence, and a future in accounting and finance.
Cole chose Wilkes Community College for its affordability, flexibility, and convenience while balancing work and school. What started as a plan to earn a certificate quickly turned into something bigger after discovering the opportunities available through WCC’s Accounting and Finance program.
During his time at WCC, Cole not only earned his Associate of Applied Science degree in Accounting and Finance, but also gained valuable real world experience while working as an accounting and finance tutor through the ASC.
In his story, Cole shares how supportive instructors, hands on learning, and student resources helped shape his future and encouraged him to continue his education beyond WCC toward his bachelor’s degree.
Accounting and finance careers can lead to opportunities in banking, auditing, payroll, tax preparation, bookkeeping, business ownership, corporate finance, and more.
