Edgecombe Community College has earned accreditation for its Advanced Emergency Medical Technician and paramedic programs from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, a national accrediting body for health science professions. The recognition affirms ECC’s commitment to high-quality EMS education that meets CAAHEP’s national standards.

Edgecombe Community College is partnering with the Rural Opportunity Institute, Area L AHEC, Strategic Twin-Counties Education Partnership and other regional organizations to develop clearer and more supportive healthcare workforce pathways for local residents. The work is funded by a $50,000 grant from the Education Design Lab’s Strengthening the Rural Workforce through Collaborative Design initiative, which aims to improve career routes in rural communities across the Southeast.

Edgecombe Community College directors Laura Brown Evans and Tameka Kenan-Norman have completed the 2025-26 Leadership Edgecombe Academy, a professional development program presented by the Tarboro Edgecombe Chamber of Commerce.
