Great news for Crowder College.
From today’s JTBJ:
Crowder College, Neosho, recently received a $3.58 million Community Based Jobs Training grant from the Missouri Department of Labor. According to Pam Hudson, Crowder's director of development and grants, this is the single-largest grant Crowder has ever received. Only 55 CBJT grants were awarded nationwide, and only three of them were in Missouri.
The grant money will be used to support the health care sector and other high growth industries, as well as to support the college's nursing program. Specifically, the grant will support the development of an Occupational Therapy Assistant program and a Physical Therapy Assistant program, as well as help expand Pharmacy Technician, Certified Nurse Assistant and Substance Addiction/Abuse Counselor programs to the other Crowder campuses throughout the region.
The proposal was submitted in October 2009. The three-year grant began March 1, 2010, and will end in 2013.
Cindy Branscum, project director for the CBJT grant, said administrators and faculty have already started meeting to begin the initial implementation plan, and that an organizational chart is being designed.
