About NCCCLP’s Cohort Program

Our Purpose

The NCCCLP develops community college leaders who connect, care, and collaborate. Participants develop and enhance essential skills to support their current and future leadership roles in the North Carolina Community College System. The Leadership Program provides networking opportunities for participants to discover and apply best practices for current community college needs.

Outcomes

Program graduates are equipped with leadership skills to become exceptional leaders and navigate the educational arena as presidents, executive vice presidents, vice presidents, executive directors, directors, deans and department chairs of community colleges in North Carolina or elsewhere.

Since then, we have trained over one thousand community college employees to be more effective leaders. 

Spring 2026 Cohort

To further the goal of statewide student success, the 46 leaders of the Spring 2026 cohort participated in intensive learning experiences including lectures and hands-on case studies. This collaborative environment allowed members to utilize expert resources and peer insights to embody the NCCCLP values: Connect, Care, and Collaborate.

The tuition for the program is $1,500. The fee covers all texts, instruction materials, inventories, food and beverages at each retreat, and single occupancy lodging at the two retreats (the first retreat in Raleigh and the last retreat in Winston-Salem).
