- Community colleges
play an important role in boosting the education and job
readiness of the workforce. “In an economy where jobs
requiring at least an associate’s degree are projected to
grow twice as fast as jobs requiring no college experience,
it’s never been more essential to continue education and
training after high school,” said President Barack Obama.
“Our community colleges can serve as 21st century job
training centers working with local businesses to help
workers learn the skills they need to fill the jobs of the
future.” Locally, Kankakee Community College offers programs
to meet community needs. “Our mission is to be an avenue
where people can turn for solutions,” said KCC’s president,
Dr. John Avendano. “Our students and graduates often
find better paying jobs, and they contribute more to our
local economy as residents and consumers.” KCC offers the
first two years of a bachelor’s degree, which saves students
thousands of dollars. In all, the college has more than 55
options, including transfer and occupational programs.
Students also may choose a course or two to update skills or
satisfy personal interests. Learn more at www.kcc.edu, or
