Columbia Gorge Community College is talking with business and industry representatives about what they need the school to do to provide a trained workforce in the region. Three CGCC board members and six faculty members have been doing site visits. CGCC Community Outreach Director Dan Spatz says they are talking about responsive programs the college can look at for various vocational needs. The question then becomes: is the need in any particular area large enough to attract the number of students necessary to sustain a program? Spatz says this will be an on-going effort, noting given the ever-changing skill needs of area businesses the college has to remain flexible.
