The Olen Howard Workforce Innovation Center was built for classrooms and training areas designed to teach students the latest precision machining and welding, and expands other programs such as industrial maintenance, robotics, logistics, leadership/supervisory skills and apprenticeships. The building was equipped with the latest technology and will increase the pipeline of students pursuing high-demand, technical careers, as well as providing under-served and non-traditional populations with avenues to obtain technical skills training; and give area employers the opportunity to skill-up and train workers.
