Published on: February 15, 2023
Claire Ricci, Guilford Technical Community College's dean of adult education the past five years, has been elevated to associate vice president of workforce and continuing education by the college.
In her new position Ricci will provide strategic and innovative leadership in the design, implementation, and continuous improvement in the WCE division and assist in the development and presentation of WCE industry, corporate, and community partnership strategies leading to enrollment and programmatic efficiency and growth.
"This is an exciting time to be a part of workforce development in Guilford County with so many employment opportunities already here in our county and more coming to our region in the near future," Ricci said. "I am proud to be a part of the work that GTCC and our partner institutions do to provide free and low-cost training and education for our community.
"Workforce development is about creating access and opportunity for all members of our community to receive the training they need to earn family-sustaining wages. Our goal is to reduce poverty and increase the quality of life for our entire community."
"This is a pivotal time for workforce development in the Triad, and Claire is the perfect person to keep GTCC positioned as a major part of that development," said Manuel Dudley, Ph.D, GTCC's vice president of workforce and continuing education. "She has been a leader in GTCC's adult education program for some time and that makes for an easy transition into this new position. She will continue to do a great job for the college."
Prior to joining GTCC in 2018, Ricci served as the director of academic and career readiness at Alamance Community College in Graham, N.C.
Ricci received a Bachelor of Arts in English and French from Guilford College and a Master of Arts in teaching from Agnes Scott College.
