COMMUNITY COLLEGES PROVIDE the SKILLS Necessary FOR HIGH-DEMAND CAREERS
Community colleges offer many short-term training programs that can lead to a stable career in a high-demand industry. Working in one of our region’s high-demand industries (agribusiness, construction, health care, information technology or manufacturing) can mean high growth potential, job security and higher wages.
Students in their short-term training programs get the following benefits:
- Direct employer involvement. Employers review the curriculum and some even teach in the program. That means what you are learning will be used on the job when you go to work.
- Confidence in a career choice. Participants know they have the skills to be successful and a head start when they begin their career.
- Earning a certificate or credential usually results in a higher starting wage.
- Certificate holders typically advance more quickly in an organization because of what they have learned.
