Highly Successful Partnership Lauren BunnMasterBrand

The NCWorks program at LCC has been a highly successful partnership for our facility that has helped us recruit, hire, and retain good quality associates. Not only has NCWorks held consistent job fairs for us with qualified, pre-screened candidates, but they provide education to our pre-hires on how to be successful at MasterBrand and in the job industry in general. Those engaged associates then walk through our doors prepared and excited to begin their careers with us, and we owe that success to NCWorks!
