One
of the most successful and ground-breaking programs at Valley College,
Job Training is celebrating its 14th anniversary this year. Established
in 1994 as a training partner for the Job Training Partnership Act,
the Job Training office develops customized curriculum to train
new hires and current employees. Working closely with businesses
to determine their training needs, their goal is to develop customized
solutions to address those particular needs.
