AHOSKIE, NC – Roanoke-Chowan Community College (R-CCC) proudly recognizes three recent graduates of the Electricity: Basic course, which concluded Dec. 18, 2025. This hands-on program equips individuals with the foundational skills needed for an entry-level general maintenance position, focusing on basic troubleshooting of electrically powered equipment.

Students who completed the course included Noah Knowles, Stephan Shearin and Antonio Stephenson.

Throughout the course, students explored essential topics such as static electricity, Ohm’s Law, DC circuits, magnetism, alternating and direct currents, indicators, transformers, capacitors and electronic components. By the end of the program, graduates gained a solid understanding of electrical circuits and electronic logic—critical skills for today’s technical workforce.

Our graduates worked hard to master the basics, and I’m confident they are prepared to take the next step in their professional journey.”
