Rep. Walz recently announced that South Central College (SCC) will receive $4.5 million from a grant program authorized in the Recovery Act. This funding will be used to hire additional workers at SCC to train Southern Minnesotans for jobs in growing industries, like the health care sector and other emerging industries.

Riverland is a partner in this program and will deliver online technical curricula for the Radiography and Pharmacy Tech programs, distance learning technology, and student support services in support of four health-care degree and certificate programs (Health Unit Coordinator, Medical Assistant, Radiography, and Pharmacy Technician).

Riverland is honored to partner with South Central College on this grant, and we look forward to working with our SCC colleagues. For more information, contact Kari Busch at 507-433-0526 or kari.busch@riverland.edu.
