Comments for South College - From the President's Desk Blog http://blog.southcollegetn.edu South College President's Blog Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:40:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on Workforce Development is Our Priority by Michael Edwards http://blog.southcollegetn.edu/index.php/2009/08/13/workforce-development-is-our-priority/comment-page-1/#comment-74 Michael Edwards Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:17:22 +0000 http://blog.southcollegetn.edu/?p=109#comment-74 As President and CEO of the Knoxville Chamber I could not agree more with Steve South's comments. We are rapidly approaching a requirement of knowlege and skill levels for jobs that not too long ago required only a high schoold diploma or less. But South College is going beyond providing valuable needed transferable knowledge and skills to providing degrees in areas where there are great shortages such as teachers, medical, and legal; thus assuring graduates jobs upon graduation. South College is providing the necessary trained and educated workers that will allow this region to continue to grown and prosper. And providing students the education they need to have a great standard of living for both themselves and their families. I am very grateful to South College for what it does for everyone in our community. As President and CEO of the Knoxville Chamber I could not agree more with Steve South’s comments.
