New tech and trades center to help Carroll Community College meet demand for skilled workers
Carroll Community College has received over $2.8 million in grant funding towards establishing an Applied Technology and Trades Center. The grant is provided by the Philip E. & Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation, which provides funds to colleges and other non-profit organizations that support job creation. The Ratcliffe Foundation’s focus is on filling gaps in the labor market through skilled trades training and entrepreneurship.
Goucher and Edenwald are advancing plans to redefine the college ‘senior’
For decades, the Edenwald retirement community has towered over the Goucher College campus, on land purchased from the college many years ago. Edenwald residents have enjoyed their proximity to the campus loop and to the trails that wind through the college’s acres of woods. Now plans are underway to expand this arrangement by creating what’s known as a University Retirement Community, or URC.
