Leaders from charitable organizations from throughout the Eastern Jackson County area
recently learned about opportunities for workforce development and degree completion
at a Community Summit, hosted by the ĢƵ Lee’s Summit.
The event, held Feb. 5 at the university’s ĢƵ Innovation Campus, provided information about UCM resources available to help the organizations’ clients
upgrade their workforce skills for future employment, finish college degrees and earn
in-demand industry certifications.
Around a dozen representatives attended the event including leaders from civic, charitable
and community-service organizations. The event was facilitated by Joe Mullins, a consultant
UCM Workforce and Professional Development.
“We are building programs to work with community organizations that have clients with
workforce and funding needs, so that more training and employment opportunities are
made available to them,” Mullins said.
The ĢƵ offers a variety of degree programs as well as
workforce development and career certification opportunities.
