Work Force Solutions

Joseph Knight, Vice President
MCC’s Workforce Solutions Division is a large umbrella that offers Career/Technical and Workforce Education and Nursing and Health Sciences Education, as well as non-credit opportunities in Adult Education, Continuing Education, Career Services, and Workforce and Grants Development. Programs in Career/Technical and Workforce Education, and Nursing and Health Sciences Education offer Associates of Applied Science, Career Certificates, or Technical Certificates; these programs are designed to meet the educational needs of students who are seeking preparation for employment in occupational fields. The non-credit programs in Workforce Solutions offer local, state, and national resources servicing industry, business, workers, and learners of all ages.

The Associate of Applied Science Degree is awarded to students in the divisions of Business, Health Education, Nursing, and Industrial Technology who complete the program of study specified in the catalog. The 15/16-semester hour Core Curriculum for Workforce Programs, listed below, is embedded in the curriculum for each associate degree program. Certificate programs may require part of the Core Curriculum, but do not require the complete 15/16-semester hour Core.

The College holds true that there is a direct correlation between the quality of one’s health and his/her capacity to learn and function well in society. MCC’s physical education courses promote personal wellness, which transcends curricular considerations, and is rather a lifelong goal for everyone. Thus, the College strongly encourages students to enroll in a physical education course as a degree plan elective.
