The
Maricopa Community Colleges are the single largest
provider of workforce development and job training
in Arizona. As an active participant in the Center
for Workforce Development - Occupational
Master Plan Process, Estrella Mountain understands
that to keep up with emerging workforce
needs, it must continue to monitor and adjust
to developing
trends. The college's recently updated Facilities
Master Plan provides for additional occupational
programs facilities with classrooms, labs and flexible
learning spaces, along with allied health, fine
arts, culinary studies, physical fitness and specialized
workforce training spaces and an expanded and remodeled
SouthWest
Skill Center with new occupational training
classrooms.
"The education infrastructure establishes the foundation
for Arizona's current and future workforce. The success
of any state or region in its ability to attract new
investments and enhance the quality of life of its
residents is highly dependent on the skill levels
of its citizens."
