For years, NC East Alliance has been focused on growing the economy of Eastern North Carolina through rural economic development, workforce development, community development, education, and marketing, supporting the region through traditional economic development efforts.
Today, that work has evolved.
Eastern North Carolina has jobs and talent, but no clear system connecting the two. NC East builds those connections to power thriving businesses and communities.
Mission:
To strengthen Eastern North Carolina by connecting people, education, and employers to support thriving communities and local industries for the long term.
Vision:
An Eastern North Carolina where every person has a clear pathway to opportunity and a strong career, fueling thriving businesses and flourishing communities for generations.
NC East is building a workforce ecosystem where:
We know there is no one size fits all solution. Our initiatives feed one another to create an ecosystem of opportunity, and we work alongside partners across the region to build long-term success.
Our organization is able to make a widespread impact across Eastern NC because of the strong ecosystem our team has built. Our leaders, staff, and Board members come from diverse backgrounds and contribute deep experience and unique perspectives to our mission. What they all have in common is deep belief in the value, beauty, and potential of this region and its people.
NC East Alliance could not grow and support this region without the help of our committed and confident investors.
