expanded partnership

Folks,

Mohave Community College is expanding our partnership role with the Mohave County One Stop office to develop "fast track" academic programs in a few selected disciplines. Over the last several weeks we have been working with One Stop staff to test and place students who are interested, and qualified, for these programs.

The college has partnered for years with our friends at the county workforce development offices. The unique aspect of this initiative is that the primary funding source is the American recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), otherwise known as stimulus money.

It is great to see that Mohave County citizens is receiving its share of the money. The college will be receiving ARRA money directly from the Governor's Office in a few days that will partially offset the reduction in state appropriations in the last fiscal year which ended on June 30. Without that money the college would have faced even tougher decisions in how to continue to operate and provide quality services.
