The community colleges' Business Training Network will debut at the Governor's Technology Showcase at the Baltimore Convention Center on December 6 and 7. The new website will simplify access to all community college course offerings across county lines.
Companies needing training throughout the state can now locate courses from one central location.
A one or two word search will pull all the community colleges workforce training course offerings on a particular subject. The new website grew out of the State's Advanced Technology Centers initiative that was originally funded by the Governor. The website is the product of the work force training effort and partnership between the Maryland Higher Education Commission and the Department of Business and Economic Development in cooperation with the Maryland Association of Community Colleges. Howard Community Colleges' Business Training Center led the team that coordinated the community colleges' efforts. Trustees are encouraged to make contact with their elected officials NOW as the Governor is meeting with elected and appointed leaders to put his FY '02 budget together.
