OIC of Rocky Mount

What OIC of Rocky Mount does

OIC of Rocky Mount is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1969 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and one of 25 affiliates of the national OIC of America network that has collectively trained over 2 million people. The organization delivers three integrated service lines from a footprint of seven physical locations in Rocky Mount: adult and youth workforce training (Carpentry Trades Academy, Advanced Manufacturing, CDL, Certified Nursing Assistant I, Dental Assisting I, basic skills/HSE preparation, STN Job Readiness, Leadership Academy, Summer Work Experience, YouthConnect); federally qualified health center (FQHC) services including OIC Family Medical Center, Specialty Care, Behavioral Health, OIC Dental Center, and OIC Fitness, all operating under HRSA FQHC designation (42 U.S.C. 254b) with Federal Public Health Service deemed employment status; and OIC Value Added Business, a contract supply chain/warehousing/distribution/logistics operation serving more than 40 companies across 15 states. The organization also runs reentry programs including Pathway Home 5 and Growth Opportunities 5 (both 100% funded by the U.S. Department of Labor) serving justice-involved adults.

The business model is a multi-stream nonprofit funding structure rather than a single product line. Revenue is derived from federal grants (USDOL reentry funding totaling $1,835,969; FQHC federal reimbursement under 42 U.S.C. 254b), modest participant fees on certain programs ($400 for CNA classes, $3,840 for Dental Assistant I, while Carpentry Trades Academy is free), operational revenue from OIC Value Added Business's B2B supply chain services, and philanthropic donations (including PayPal-enabled online giving). Customer segments span economically disadvantaged adults, youth aged 16-21, justice-involved individuals with scheduled release within 20-270 days, FQHC-eligible community healthcare recipients in Edgecombe and Nash Counties, and approximately 40+ manufacturing companies using the supply chain arm. Distribution is direct and in-person only across the Rocky Mount locations, with multi-channel community outreach (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletter, community events such as Community to Table and National Health Center Week) supporting top-of-funnel awareness. The technology stack is not disclosed; no proprietary software, API, or AI capabilities are evidenced.
