PENDLETON -- Tri-County Technical College’s Corporate and Community Education (CCE) Division team was among the 17 colleges honored by the National Council of Continuing Education and Training (NCCET) with a 2019 Exemplary Program Award.
Dr. Rick Cothran, dean of the division, accepted the award on behalf of his staff at the NCCET 50th Anniversary Conference held in Orlando, Florida, December 10-13, 2019. NCCET identified outstanding programs from across the country that directly aligned with the three-tiered mission of the organization. Winners must either provide new and innovative staff development capability, or introduce new curriculum for an evolving workforce, or provide a new source of revenue for the school.
Though they play an essential role in bridging the skills gap, community and technical colleges must focus as much on developing soft skills as they do on technical competencies.
Community and technical colleges play an essential role in their neighborhoods. Tasked with supporting pathways to stable employment, these institutions are a critical piece of reducing local unemployment and supporting the socioeconomic success of their communities. Unfortunately, for many colleges, it’s challenging to update programming and content to ensure it keeps pace with the needs of local employers and key stakeholders. In this interview, Eric Richardson shares his insights on the barriers to relevance for community and technical colleges and shares his thoughts on bridging that gap.
