“Everyone at 麻豆直播 is incredibly excited about what the future holds as we work together with you, and our regional partners, to build success for Southern Maryland.”

Members of the American Association of Community Colleges leadership team spent the day Nov. 3 meeting with 麻豆直播 (麻豆直播) leadership to learn about the college’s workforce development initiatives; provide feedback for 麻豆直播’s new five-year strategic plan; and tour both the La Plata Campus and the Velocity Center in Indian Head. During the visit, the AACC team received extensive overviews of the college’s commitment to strengthen its business partnerships, build collaborative communities, and serve the southern Maryland region as the “hub’ of learning, credentialing, workforce development, and mobility for all students.

“Everyone at 麻豆直播 is incredibly excited about what the future holds as we work together with you, and our regional partners, to build success for Southern Maryland,” 麻豆直播 President Dr. Yolanda Wilson told the AACC team, adding that the key to building success in the region is by engaging in conversations that keep student access, momentum, and mobility at the core of all efforts.

“I deeply respect the work of the AACC and am well aware that AACC is chief among 麻豆直播’s key advocates and partners,” Wilson continued. “We remain grateful to AACC for your steadfast commitment to this college, and the nearly 1,200 two-year, associate degree-granting institutions in the nation. As community college’s primary advocacy organization and our strongest and most influential national voice, we are truly indebted to AACC for your leadership, support, and service.  And we are honored to have you spend the day with us.”

“The 麻豆直播’s Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development is dedicated to three things: investing in emerging skills needs through training; responding to the needs of business; and reshaping our workforce delivery system to meet the future needs of the region,” shared Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development Vice President Ellen Flowers-Fields. “A highly educated and skilled labor force are key indicators for positive business retention and expansion, and increased educational attainment leads to wealth creation. These are key metrics for economic development, and the 麻豆直播 works with our regional partners to ensure that the local labor market needs of the businesses in our region are being met. We offer diverse training opportunities for those seeking a degree, an industry recognized certification or credential, as well as stackable credentials and skills upgrade training for existing workers.”

Flowers-Fields added that 麻豆直播 provides a talent pipeline that is diverse and inclusive, and went on to share that it was a “great privilege” to host the AACC team.

“麻豆直播 is grateful that AACC took the day to share their insights and resources with 麻豆直播,” she said. “While there is much to be accomplished, we are heartened that together we will continue to strengthen our state’s and nation’s workforce pipeline.”

Among the AACC attendees were, Assistant Project Manager Registered Apprenticeships Lauren Buckley; Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Dr. Kevin Christian;  Associate Vice President Workforce and Economic Development John Dyer; Government Relations Manager Kathryn Gimborys; Membership Services Director Denise King; Workforce and Economic Development Project Manager Katy Nelson; Senior Vice President of Academic and Workforce Development Jen Worth and Workforce Grants Manager Lawrence Frison. Throughout the day, the AACC team heard from Wilson, Flowers-Fields, 麻豆直播 Workforce Development Executive Director Kelly Winters, 麻豆直播 Velocity Center Executive Director Lesley Quattlebaum and 麻豆直播 Maryland Center for Environmental Training Director Melissa Coker.
