Mobility
1.1 PROJECT OUTCOMES
• The development of an in-house Health Sciences Curriculum
will reduce training costs for students, align students to the
needs of the local labor market, provide a sustainable and
more flexible model for workforce training (i.e., face to face,
remote, hybrid, community-based, etc.), and provide
completion of the development of five health science courses.
• The property will be used to expand the college’s successful
Marine Environmental Technician Program and expand
partnerships that encourage marine resource research,
conservation, and restoration. The College expects to increase
research and work-based learning experiences for students
enrolled in the MET program. Identified as a training need
within the community for CDL and BLE Vehicle Operations
as well, the college expects at least sixty (60) CDL and fifty
(50) BLE certificate holders and graduates per year.
• The program would establish a pool of top-notch faculty for
hard to recruit staff in high-demand industries such as
nursing, IT, and the marine industry.
