e a community assetCommunity College,Community PartnerOne of the most powerful examples ofMHCC’s mission of partnership with thecommunity is the Customized Trainingdepartment within the Economic andWorkforce Development division.These are two words that stand for alot: community college. Most peoplecan readily visualize the “college”part…a campus, students takingclasses from faculty, earning degrees.It’s the “community” part that is lessclear—probably because it covers somuch ground, lots of services andpartnerships, a variety of opportunitiesand means many things to manypeople. One of the strongest andmost effective of those communitypartnerships is all about making thepeople and businesses of our regionmore skilled, more competitive andmore successful. In a nutshell, that’sthe Customized Training department.It provides instruction in arange of areas, from computer systemsto on-the-job safety to industryspecifictopics.“We up-skill workers, with the goalof a better workforce to serve theneeds and fuel the success of localbusiness and industry,” explainsMarc Goldberg, dean of Economicand Workforce Development. “Thisis where serving students andsupporting the needs of businessesintersect. The department becomesthe eyes and ears of MHCC whenit comes to the type of skilledworkforce that’s needed and whatkinds of efforts and programs willget us there.”When it comes to powering employers’workforces with new skills andopportunities, MHCC provides continuingeducation and customizedtraining to support professional development,licensure and assist businesseswith their workforce needs.“We take pride in being responsiveand receptive to our customers, whoare our students, regional businessesand the entire community,” saysJarrod Hogue, manager of workforcedevelopment. “We can quickly builda course or training program to filla need.”Hogue manages a team of threeworkforce training coordinators, eachof whom serves a sector of the localeconomy.

The end result for employersis a smarter, more skilled, moreproductive workforce. For employees,we provide high-value training thatmakes them more competitive in thejob market. It’s a win for both sides,and what we do helps power theeconomic development of the entireMHCC district.”Like Wild, Loomis brings a backgroundin workforce developmentand a desire to work inwhat may well be MHCC’s mostentrepreneurial division. “I’ve doneemployee training myself,” she says,“and its value is very clear. The bestand most successful employers knowhow important it is to invest in theirworkers—as the skills of the employeesgrow, so grows the company.”Weinman, who brought his experiencein the private sector to MHCCnearly a decade ago to work at thevital interface between business andindustry and the community collegemission, agrees.“A lot of employers have commonneeds and challenges, but the approachwe take to answering thoseneeds is always customized for thespecific company. We go on site, welisten, we create a tangible connectionso MHCC can be the best possibleresource for these businesses,”says Weinman. “We are a conduitfor the entire college to understandand help provide what will best serveboth students and the employers forwhom they hope to one day work.“Our Customized Training departmentmakes MHCC a true partnerin the success of the people we teachand the people who need theirskills,” continues Weinman. “MHCCis the definition of a community college,which is to be a complete andengaged community partner.”For more information, please contactthe Customized Training departmentat 503-491-7235; workforce.training@mhcc.edu.NATIONAL MANUFACTURING DAYOct. 4, Gresham CampusLots of Portland-area businesses employ graduates from MHCC’s weldingand machining programs.

The O.C. will reducethe steps to just three, locations tothree or fewer, and time to 48 hours orless once a student’s admission form hasbeen processed,” Eustrom continues.“For many, the college-going processisn’t an intuitive thing that automaticallymakes sense.
