Craven Community College

That's a wrap on the 2026 SkillsUSA conference for our Craven CC students!

We're incredibly proud of everything our students accomplished in Atlanta. They stepped outside their comfort zones, showcased their skills on a national stage, connected with students from across the country, and created memories that will last a lifetime. This experience was about much more than competition—it was about growth, confidence, and representing Craven with pride.

Congratulations to all of our competitors for their hard work, dedication, and willingness to challenge themselves. We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next!

Dyamonesse Campbell went from student to jobsite professional in just weeks.

After completing Craven Community College’s CDL program, Dyamonesse returned to campus behind the wheel of a concrete mixer truck—delivering materials for Craven’s new building project, the Corporate Training Center.

Her journey is a powerful example of how workforce training can quickly turn ambition into opportunity.
