A new program at Cape Fear Community College aims to train more people to become surveyors to meet regional demand for the required role.
The geomatics program “will provide students with the education and training required to pursue a career as a surveyor,” according to a news release. “As our region continues to experience significant growth and development, the demand for qualified surveyors has reached new heights.”
Surveyors are responsible for making precise measurements to determine property boundaries.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment of surveyors is projected to grow 6% from 2023 to 2033, faster than the average for all occupations. About 4,000 openings for surveyors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.”
The bureau’s surveyor statistics also show that the median annual salary for surveyors is $68,540.
CFCC's news release stated that its geomatics program responds to this demand by offering courses in various formats, including online, hybrid and in-person, to accommodate all students.
“The program will equip students with the knowledge and skills to support local development projects,” the release stated.
More information about the courses, which begin Sept. 16, is available online.
