James Vander Hooven took over at Mount Wachusett Community College in March, and the board of trustees at Quinsigamond Community College picked Luis Pedraja to take over for Gail Carberry, who is retiring at the end of the school year. Vander Hooven said he plans to spend the next few months creating out a strategic plan, which will include understanding what the college's role is in the business community, and how it can better serve area companies. What is the most important thing community colleges can do for companies in their area? Offer curricula that aligns with industry's workforce needs
Have certificate programs where companies can send their employees for additional training
Supply equipment and assistance for companies to do research
Provide educational opportunities to people of all ages and backgrounds to create a bigger talent pool
