Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans and Wayne County alongside Dr. Curtis L. Ivery and the Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD) have forged a partnership to build a bridge between the college classroom and nearly 1,000 Wayne County careers. The program will initially focus on students in pursuit of careers in criminal and civil justice, business, and public health, however, job availability is not limited to these areas of expertise.
“I am excited about this mutually beneficial partnership with Wayne County Community College District; it will afford us the opportunity to build a stronger workforce in Wayne County by hiring well educated, culturally diverse and career ready individuals,” said County Executive Evans. “Additionally, it provides extra incentives for students to complete their studies knowing that this bridge into the workforce exists.”
