About us

K-64 is a new approach to talent development established as part of a county-wide effort to proactively drive local economic and population growth in Catawba County. K-64 is turning education inside out by directly connecting local students with a world of opportunities in Catawba County. The program actively engages students of all ages in preparing for viable and sustainable careers throughout their lifetime through work-based learning, the utilization of technology, career awareness events, and character education. This systemic approach to shaping future careers and meeting workforce demands will broaden local industry awareness to the citizens of Catawba County while connecting them to high-wage, highly-skilled career pathways. The K-64 initiative has created new avenues for collaboration between Catawba County Schools, Hickory Public Schools, Newton-Conover City Schools, Catawba Valley Community College, Lenoir-Rhyne University, and local government and business leaders in Catawba County. The K-64 approach to economic development will be a game changer for Catawba County, North Carolina and ensure a bright, prosperous future for its residents. K-64 is governed by a Board of Directors and managed by staff employed by Catawba Valley Community College (CVCC). The K-64 initiative leverages tax dollars, private contributions and grant funds to support program expansion and sustainability. Finances for K-64 are handled by the Catawba Valley Community College Foundation, which is CVCC’s 501(c) 3 education foundation.
