Workforce Development

The focus of COCC’s Workforce Development goal is to develop and align educational opportunities with regional workforce needs and industry standards. With this, two of COCC’s Strategic Plan action projects focus on expanding our Madras campus to add nursing, nursing assistant, medical assisting and early childhood education (ECE) programs, with the ECE program offered in both Spanish and English. The second project aims to revitalize COCC’s manufacturing program to align with current and future industry needs.

To help the College track its progress toward the Workforce Development goal, the College will regularly track workforce development student enrollment (headcount) and success (completion), as well as the number of new classes, certificates and degrees offered.
