Mesa Community College Invests $39 Million in Workforce Training to Meet Industry Demand
Mesa Community College is making a significant investment of $39 million to expand its workforce training facilities in response to the growing demand for skilled workers in construction, manufacturing, and related fields. The college plans to build two new workforce training centers, including a $25 million welding center, to replace outdated facilities and establish a new 'workforce development corridor' on campus. The expansion aims to address urgent needs for certified welders, sustainable horticulture specialists, and veterinary technicians. The groundbreaking for the project took place on April 17, and construction is expected to begin within months. The college's programs currently serve students and professionals from organizations such as Salt River Project and Empire Cat, highlighting the community impact of the training provided.
