The president of the local campus for Ozarks Technical Community College says the system's goal is to provide education for careers in demand.
Table Rock Campus President Dr. Rob Griffith says during an interview on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program that the local campus in Hollister as well as the main campus in Springfield and Richwood Valley Campus in Ozark are continuing to evaluate and develop programs to address changing demands in the community. Griffith points to the HVAC Program developed several years ago to address a shortage in the heating and air service in the region.
Griffith also talks about the number of students picking to start at OTC before moving on to either finish at a four-year university or into a career as well as the impact of the rootEd program to get more resources and information to students in rural school districts.
