Popis: As the Permian Basin area of West Texas experiences economic growth and employees are in high demand, specialized training is required in high-demand fields. Community colleges can develop and respond quickly to local workforce needs and create credit and non-credit programs. Community colleges provide opportunities through a variety of short programs and flexible schedules at low costs. Taking advantage of local partnerships to train students allows job training experience with the possibility of seamless placement after training. The community college acts as a pathway to provide comprehensive and relevant training that is streamlined to lead to current job placement in the community. This chapter explores this phenomenon.
