TRCC seeks input from industries on workforce training needs

POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) - In an effort to make the region more appealing to industry, Three Rivers College, the City of New Madrid and U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, organized a gathering to learn just what the workforce needs are.

According to TRCC, more than two dozen representatives of several of the leading industries in Scott, New Madrid and Mississippi counties attended the meeting held Sept. 17. They were made aware of the training programs the college currently offers and were asked to give feedback on the types of training that would help them keep and attract employees.

Having this firsthand account of the area workforce needs is critical, according to Dr. Devin Stephenson, President of Three Rivers College.

“With our upcoming expansion in the Sikeston area through our Eastern Campus, we are learning just how important it is for us to regionalize our efforts in workforce development training,” he said.
