PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

The new economy has changed the way companies do business, from the speed of information to the technology employees must adapt. Pima Community College (PCC) provides businesses with education for the skills demanded in today’s competitive environment. PCC features best-in-class rigorous curriculum created hand-in-hand with employers and delivered with a mix of modalities to accommodate modern learners.

The key to PCC’s relevant curriculum is industry engagement at every level. Business leaders inform academic programs through participation in Employer Advisory Committees, providing on-the-job learning opportunities for students through internships and apprenticeships, and encouraging their employees to teach as adjunct instructors who can bring real-life scenarios to the classroom.

PCC has a team dedicated to building industry relationships in support of their workforce development needs. Working with PCC, employers can develop a healthy talent development strategy that ensures coverage of entry level, mid-skill and management. PCC can craft a program to teach employees who need to learn a new technical skill, update their expertise, improve their communication, or prepare to become supervisors. Pima Community College was selected by Harvard University as one of five community colleges in the nation that exemplify how community colleges are helping to improve local economies.

Additionally, PCC is enhancing its infrastructure by developing Centers for Excellence in Applied Technology, Health Professions, Public Safety & Security, the Arts, Hospitality, and Information Technology. Each center will feature the most up-to-date facilities, equipment and curriculum, and provide students with opportunities for hands-on application of skills learned in class. At the Centers for Excellence, community members and industry employees can learn new skills and interact with other professionals as well as PCC students. These syngeries will enhance and accelerate learning for students, faculty and community members.

Whenever possible, PCC programs align with rigorous industry-recognized certifications. Additionally, PCC students earn industry-recognized credentials as a third-party validation of their skills attainment. The credentials are transferrable from job to job, and stackable, to demonstrate progressive attainment of proficiency.
