(From Crowder College)Crowder College is purchasing a facility in Joplin to provide workforce training to the region. The College has offered programs in the Joplin Advanced Training and Technology Center since 2017.
"The City of Joplin and the Joplin Chamber of Commerce have been terrific supporters of Crowder College, assisting with the first grant that allowed Crowder to start workforce training programs in Joplin,” stated Andy Wood, Board of Trustees Chair.
The state is providing $6M from American Rescue Plan Act funds to aid in the purchase. “We are grateful for Governor Parson and the state legislatures who saw the need for a training facility,” stated Dr. Katrina Pierson, Crowder College president.
“Short-term training and employment demand have created an increase in the students we have seen at the ATTC. The new facility will provide expansion options to meet the needs for our area.” The facility is located on Hammons Blvd near between I-44 and 32nd Streets in Joplin in the former Victory building.
Crowder College is a two-year community college located in southwest Missouri, serving a nine-county region as well as the surrounding states. The college provides pathways to careers and transfer opportunities to universities along with non-credit workforce training. The main campus in Neosho provides on-campus housing, athletics, a working farm with hands-on training, and over 80 degree and program options. The College provides Instructional Centers in McDonald County (Jane) just north of the Arkansas state line, Cassville, Webb City, Nevada, and Joplin.
Way to go Crowder College! Your ability to provide workforce training programs is a blessing to our area.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden and the Democratic Party did this.
ReplyDeleteNot a single Missouri Republican vote in the US House or US Senate for the American Rescue Plan of 2021.
Not a single Republican vote in the US House or US Senate for the American Rescue Plan of 2021.
The lesson is clear.
One thing Missouri voters can count on is that the Repubes lie and vote no while the Democratic Party gets it done.
So no republican voted for the A.R.P. because our country is drowning in debt (33 trillion).
ReplyDeleteYes, education is important, but we have to stop the out of control spending. We need to start living within our means.
Crowder College paid for the taxpayers of Newton and Mcdonald County. Spread all over the region but still funded by Newton and Mcdonald County taxes.
ReplyDeleterepublicans keep telling everyone that tax cuts increase revenues and reduce the deficit.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly (not really) they are wrong every time.
Most of the US deficit has been caused by Republican Presidents aided and abetted by a Republican House and Senate.
