  27. The Manufacturing Bootcamp project has already been a success for our county and region, and we hope that other communities will realize the potential benefits from developing partnerships with the College. ~Garry Clark, Cuming County Economic Development Director The College is developing groundbreaking models where business and education collaborate to address the skills gap. These models will provide opportunities to many who otherwise would remain unskilled and some who are unemployable. ~Lori Scherer, Smeal Fire Apparatus

  28. Next Steps • Expand program to other regions of the 20-county service district • Different markets/opportunities in other program areas
