GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (GRCC/EVH) – El programa Michigan Reconnect ha ayudado con éxito a los residentes a comenzar o reiniciar una educación universitaria, pero los líderes estatales “tienen más trabajo por hacer” para hacer que un título o certificado de carrera esté al alcance de otros, dijo el vicegobernador Garlin Gilchrist II.
Gilchrist realizó una mesa redonda el lunes pasado con el presidente de Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC), Charles Lepper, estudiantes, administradores y profesores del Centro de Tecnología Aplicada de Wisner-Bottrall, diciendo que quería escuchar cómo el programa ha sido efectivo, pero también cómo el estado puede continuar haciendo cambios y ayudar a más residentes.
