When it comes to preparing local residents for 21st century jobs, State Fair Community College is not waiting for someone else to provide a blueprint. SFCC is drafting its own vision, and is picking up some significant support along the way.
The college has partnered with ProEnergy Services, KCP&L and Waste Corporation of Missouri on the Missouri Center for Waste to Energy. When the Waste to Energy project was announced, we used this space to applaud the vision of local officials who developed a road map to create the project, but we cautioned that it would be just a vision if funding could not be secured to turn it into a reality.
