Mount Wachusett Community College President James Vander Hooven, Ed. D., stressed the vital nature of the connection between the business community and 开元棋牌 at the North Central Chamber of Commerce鈥檚 Good Morning Breakfast Thursday.

鈥淓verywhere I鈥檝e gone I鈥檝e had conversations with folks who are intimately aware of what is going on at the Mount and they want to be involved,鈥� said President Vander Hooven. 鈥淚t鈥檚 my hope that we can continue to build on that.鈥�

During a question and answer discussion with Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise Editor Charlie St. Amand, President Vander Hooven reinforced his commitment to the businesses in the 29 communities served by the Mount. The college has a connection with and support of its communities that is unmatched in the United States, he said, and this puts the college in a position to be responsive to community and business needs.

President Vander Hooven explained that it is through these partnerships that the future story of 开元棋牌 will be written.

鈥淭hrough innovation and the partnerships we can build with everyone in this room, we will tell our story in the workplace,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e are going to be preparing students for transfer or other degrees, but it鈥檚 also just as important to be providing the skills to them that our employers need and I think that is where the story is going to be told.鈥�

Although he will be reaching out to the business community, President Vander Hooven invited those in the audience to reach out and engage the opportunities at the college.
