Dear Mr. Fortner:
I am writing in support of the grant application being submitted by Calhoun CommunityCollege to the Office of Workforce Development for funds to continue the highlysuccessful career/technical Dual Enrollment programs established by the col.lege in highschools throughout our area. Through Dual Enrollment, students are being introduced tothe many opportunities available in areas such as advanced rnanufacturing, drafting,machine tool technology and EMS programs. This program has been very successful thelast two years.
Toray has a commitment to the community and to workforce development. As a company,we feel that career/technical Dual Enrollment is an effective effort by the college to reachstudents in local high schools and strengthen the transition between high school andcollege. Involving high school students in hands-on, real world technology course workcan keep them engaged in school, help them begin to understand the applications of theconcepts they are leaming in high school and introduce them to the many careersavailable to them in technical fields. Toray supports the statewide effort to continueworkforce development awareness and training while students are still in school andcareer/technical dual enrollment is a critical component ofthis process.
I strongly encourage you to consider continued funding for the successfulcareer/technical Dual Enrollment program at Calhoun Community College and the role ithas played in developing a strong and effective workforce for our area.
