About 250 students are expected to benefit from a partnership between Maricopa County and the Maricopa County Community College District.
On Nov. 29, the groups announced a partnership where participating students "will receive no-cost training to further their careers" in high-demand industries, according to a press release.
"This partnership exemplifies the dedication of Maricopa County to invest in the career development and success of its residents," said Clint Hickman, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. "We believe that nurturing the growth of our workforce is not just an investment in our residents, but also in our local economy and the employers who call our community home."
In January, a $6.4 million initiative was announced to help an additional 250 students train for jobs in high-demand industries through the Route to Relief program, the press release said.
“We are proud to partner with Maricopa County to provide residents the opportunity to advance in their careers and earn higher wages,” said MCCCD Chancellor Dr. Steven R. Gonzales in the press release. “This partnership demonstrates Maricopa Community Colleges leadership in workforce development training, producing highly skilled students equipped with the knowledge and credentials required to succeed in today’s competitive job market.”
