Thank you for your sponsorship donation! Your donations help people like Bin Mutombo.
Bin’s educational background included an associate degree in Integrated Manufacturing, so he requested assistance with enrolling in USM to secure a BS degree in Engineering/Industrial Technology. He had applied for and was deemed eligible for WIA; he had also applied for and was granted CCWI’s Diversity Hiring Coalition (Workforce) Scholarship towards his goal of obtaining an engineering degree at USM. Bin’s goal was to receive his degree and go on to secure employment in the engineering/technology field which would allow him, he quoted, “to give back to the community that has helped me out.”
Over the past few years, the Workforce Scholarship Fund has provided financial support towards education for individuals in the coastal counties region whose income falls below the per-capita income for the area. Our workforce system has limited resources available to support the education and training needs of people in the coastal counties region. Scholarships support the cost of tuition, class materials and other direct education expenses for customers who may slip through the funding cracks.
