Due to Hurricane Milton, Pasco-Hernando State College has rescheduled their celebration of the Grand Opening of the Workforce Development Center at Gowers Corner, located at 18950 Michigan Lane, Spring Hill, Fla., 34610. The event’s date has been rescheduled to October 30, 2024, and the reception will take place at 9:00 a.m., with the ceremony set for 9:15 a.m.

The Workforce Development Program touches on a wide variety of skills and knowledge, providing students with opportunities to further their professional careers and goals. The PHSC Workforce Development Center at Gowers Corner is an investment in not only the construction industry but also in local apprentices who are interested in changing their lives.

“Our goal is to give the students the knowledge, job experience and skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. If we’ve given them this foundation to build themselves up on, then we’ve done our job,” said Sean Kessler, instructor for the construction technician apprenticeship program.

“The future of workforce training centers on a more robust partnership between educational providers and industry than has been the case. The PHSC Workforce Development Center at Gowers Corner illustrates this trend as the college and industry partners work closely together to prepare individuals for well-paying careers in high-demand industries,” said PHSC President Jesse Pisors, Ed.D.
