Monroe Community College Finger Lakes Workforce Development Center
Creating a pathway to prosperity and filling a critical skills gap.
The new center is a model for co-locating multiple colleges and private-sector entities to fill employers’ growing needs for skilled technicians and support the regional economy. It connects low-income residents to accelerated workforce education and apprenticeships, moving them out of poverty and onto pathways to prosperity. The Center offers short-term and accelerated, technology-oriented training that places individuals in high-demand, skilled trade jobs. To strengthen the educational pipeline, an early college program model focuses on exposing high school students to advanced smart technologies.
