Swanger to Present at ACCT


Three western New York community colleges will present Community Economic Development Best Practices at the regional leadership conference of the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT). MCC along with Genesee and Erie community colleges will present their respective award-winning best practices on community economic development at the June 23-26 conference in Baltimore, MD.

Dustin Swanger, Ed.D., associate vice president of economic and community development, will present a best practice on its partnership with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) on an apprentice program. The combination of on-the-job training with higher education gives union members college credit for their work. The certificate program, open to IBEW members, creates an intimate collaborative between the two organizations and represents the future in apprentice training.
