MeadWestvaco, Richmond, Va., USA, has donated $100,000 to the Chattahoochee Valley Community College (CVCC), Phenix City, Ala. The company's Mart Mill (packaging grades) is located at nearby Cottonton, Ala.
CVCC plans to use part of the donation to fund its Workforce Development programs. At CVCC, Workforce Development offers workforce training for emerging workers, transitional workers, and incumbent workers. Workforce Development also provides basic skills and job readiness training; short-term, non-credit training; continuing education; and customized training for business and industry.
"We are impressed with the innovative technologies that the College has implemented to engage the students." said Roz Durden, communications manager at MeadWestvaco. "We feel this is a great investment and we are confident of the value it will add for the community, as well as current and potential MeadWestvaco employees. Truly, CVCC is training a world-class workforce and we are proud to be a part."
VCC is planning a new industry training center which will house two large classrooms and open space for both didactic and experimental learning in automotive manufacturing technology, industrial maintenance technology, sustainable construction, and air conditioning technology.
