SCC recently announced the opening of its new Workforce Trades Building to support the region's demand for skilled workers and provide hands-on training that can lead to immediate employment and long-term career opportunities. Training launched this fall with Small Engine Repair, with Foundations to Mechanical Systems soon to follow. Additional programs are planned to support advanced manufacturing and automation workforce needs.
An open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony is being planned for later this fall, providing businesses and community members an opportunity to tour the new facility.
