The Triangle is formed by the joining of three unique communities: Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. These three geographic points originally referenced the area within the parameters of three major area universities -Duke, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In the middle of these communities is the World renown Research Triangle Park. It contains a variety of companies performing many types of work ranging from Medical, Pharmaceutical, Technical, Computers and Telecommunications.

The Triangle area is once again starting to show signs that it is ready to move to a new level. With unemployment devastating most some areas of the country and in some cases forcing business closures, those in pharmaceutical fields are still moving along as though nothing is going on. hospitals are in a constant need for RNs and LPNs, whereas the technical fields are looking for the new kids on the block.

Additionally, the Triangle area has received numerous accolades from national publications as one of the country's best places to live and work. To the west of the Triangle lie the majestic Blue Ridge and Great Smokey Mountains and, to the east, a historic strand of barrier islands and miles of white sandy beaches.
