About Us
ProNet brings together the Charlotte Region's education,
training, job placement, economic development and workforce
development agencies with a single focus - addressing the
needs of professionals who have recently lost a job, have
concerns about the future of their current jobs or are considering
a career change. The partners have a well established history
of working with individuals and businesses in good and bad
economic times, and they bring together a wide range of public
services.
