PUEBLO â Pueblo Community college began a new program to help their students earn college credit and cash at the same time.
The Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education is designed to help future students learn from different companies in Pueblo while earning money, college credit, and could possibly lead to a full-time job in the future. Our employers continue to struggle to find skilled workers, said Jennifer Sherman from Pueblo Community College. This is a way that they can invest, hire someone, grow, and mentor that student, and really solve their own issues of really trying to fill the pipeline.
This past week, Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia, Jr. (D) was selected to serve as the immediate past president of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). He joins the bipartisan organization’s leadership team serving the nation’s 7,383 state lawmakers and legislative staff. Garcia was appointed to serve the remaining term of former Vermont Speaker Mitzi Johnson (D), who lost her election in November.
The position exists as one of seven officers who help steer NCSL to best serve legislators and legislative staff by guiding important policy and budgetary decisions.
