COLLEGE HISTORY
INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
Participation in innovative partnerships has enabled the
college to expand programs, offer new training
opportunities, and increase revenues that, in part,
replace funds lost due to reductions in state
appropriations. For example, the College has formed
partnerships with local hospitals resulting in an increase
in the number of nursing students able to enroll in the
College’s program. Internships with one of the local
cities has created additional training opportunities for
automotive students, and grants received through State
and County agencies have expanded workforce
development programs that eventuate in immediate
employment opportunities for students. The college has
also increased outside sources of revenue through lease
agreements with local and regional entities.
