NC Department of Commerce, Division of Workforce Solutions initiated the Fierce Fellows program with Dr. Zeb Regan to support justice involved individuals across our state. Mountain Area Workforce Development Board successfully piloted this program with Dr. Regan and completed another successful program for 2024.
The Fierce Fellows program is a soft skills class for justice involved with engaging discussions and knowledgeable material. Fierce Fellows equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for creating order, fostering strong family ties, promoting community engagement, and achieving meaningful, sustainable employment.
