250 Maricopa County Community College Students to Receive Career Advancement Training
250 students will have new career pathways thanks to the collective efforts of Maricopa County and the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD). Participating students will receive no-cost training to further their careers in high-demand industries.
"This partnership exemplifies the dedication of Maricopa County to invest in the career development and success of its residents," stated Clint Hickman, District 4, Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. "We believe that nurturing the growth of our workforce is not just an investment in our residents, but also in our local economy and the employers who call our community home."
This is the second collaboration this year between the County and MCCCD reinforcing their commitment to providing career advancement opportunities and workforce development for the residents of Maricopa County. In January, a $6.4 million initiative was announced to help an additional 250 students train for jobs in high-demand industries through the Route to Relief program.
“We are proud to partner with Maricopa County to provide residents the opportunity to advance in their careers and earn higher wages,” said MCCCD Chancellor Dr. Steven R. Gonzales. “This partnership demonstrates Maricopa Community Colleges leadership in workforce development training, producing highly skilled students equipped with the knowledge and credentials required to succeed in today’s competitive job market.”
