the local police and fire departments and other non-credited adult courses, explained Ben Shappely, project manager for Northeast’s division of workforce training. “This is a great way to serve this part of our district,” said Nadara Cole, vice president of workforce training at North-
east. “With gas prices the way they are, this will help to serve the community in the edge of our district. Even if we recruit students from Tennessee — we’re ready for that.” District 1 Supervisor Jimmie Gunn said the center is a great investment in the community. “This way the people in the community will be able to get it without
having to drive 20 miles. They’ll be able to come in after work,” he said. The vice president of the workforce training said Northeast hopes to grow the center and is looking for any opportunity to offer more training sessions.
