The CCC Foundation was established in 1983 as a not for profit corporation to ensure quality education and financial stability for CCC. The highly successful, multi-million dollar effort of the Foundation has so far expanded the footprint of CCC in both physical assets and training options. It has also connected economic development efforts of Cleveland County to workforce training taking place at CCC.
