From a press-release, The North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) announces the graduation of 41 North Carolina businesses from the 2012 Spring Defense Contractor Academy (DCA), held at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) in Charlotte.

“The Defense Contractor Academy provides the advanced skills businesses need in federal business development, competitive processes and federal contracting procedures to grow in the federal marketplace – and to grow jobs in North Carolina,” said Scott Dorney, Executive Director of the NCMBC.
