COCC
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Late last year, Central Oregon Community College partnered with Mt. Hood Community College, the Higher Education Coordinating Commission and seven other Oregon community colleges to apply for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Strengthening Community College Training Grant.
This funding helps institutions address the skill development needs of employers and support workers in gaining skills to transition quickly from unemployment to employment.
This month, the consortium of Oregon community colleges learned they had been awarded the full $5 million in requested funding. COCC will receive $80,000 per year for four years from the award, which the college will use to support advanced manufacturing workforce development in Central Oregon.
