Center of Workforce Development
The Center for Workforce Development is the linchpin program that provides the technology, training and facilities that are so urgently
needed by the corporate and industrial groups in the College's service area.
The center's projects are literally education at work and education that works as it customizes and targets programs so that it is
immediately relevant and useful to both the student and the business world.
The center's mission is to provide ways for a business to improve its performance and customize training techniques to its specific.
Businesses can take advantage of a variety of technical topics to help them increase productivity and reduce downtime.
