Caldwell County Workforce Wednesday, a partnership with the Caldwell County School system and Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute and Caldwell County Economic Development, visited Shurtape Technologies, located in Hudson, NC. Here is a short glimpse of what we saw and learned during our visit. The educators involved in this program can go back to the classroom and share with their students the opportunities available in our community. We hope you enjoy our tour of Shurtape Technologies (makers of Duct Tape and packaging tap).
