Health care safety
CCE again brought a series of ergonomic safety training sessions to long-term health care facilities in Northern Michigan, from Grayling to St. Ignace, teaching 600-plus employees how to lift and transport patients safely, avoid injury and illness, and remain safe on the job. These programs help keep health care workers and their facilities safe and productive.
Manufacturing training
CCE partnered with eight area manufacturing companies, Networks Northwest and the Northeast Michigan Consortium to bring more than $300,000 in grant funds to Northern Michigan to train 543 skilled workers and create 40 new positions.
Above: Around the Table Farming Expo attracted 80 farmers, purchasers, chefs and local food lovers. Below: CCE offered classroom training ranging from health care to manufacturing to area business and industry.
Employees of Moeller Aerospace, Link Industries, Wojan Windows & Doors, JB Webb, Central Industrial, Petoskey Plastics, Tube Fab and Honeywell all received hands-on instruction on advanced manufacturing equipment, software, Lean operations and more. The customized instruction took place at company sites in Emmet, Charlevoix and Cheboygan counties, helping those areas preserve high-skill manufacturing positions.
Youth employment success
CCE’s Youth 4 Success programs served 124 youth in Gaylord, Cheboygan and Johannesburg during the past year, helping them graduate from high school or pass their GED, find work, apply to college and achieve their goals. Many of these students continued their education at North Central.
Agricultural business education
CCE’s farming programs have continued to grow over the last three years. This year, CCE scheduled 45 workshops and events. Topics included fungi, beekeeping, vineyard management and farm-related businesses. In addition to the workshops attended by nearly 600 people, CCE hosted a number of agriculturally-focused events: • Around the Table: Roundtable Discussion on Local Food & Farming attracted 80 farmers, purchasers, chefs and local food lovers to create ways to support local agriculture. • Local Food Alliance monthly potlucks brought together advocates from farming, retail, health care, arts, foundations and education to develop programs to increase the availability of local food and support area farmer businesses. • 4th Annual Wine Competition and Tasting allowed student vintners and professional wine-makers to compete. Sommeliers and wine professionals judged nearly 80 entries and awarded prizes to the winning wine-makers at the wine tasting on May 13.
Cari Griffin Cari Griffin, of Boyne City, started her family early and never had time to consider college, but when daughter Sydney enrolled at North Central, she decided the time was right. Cari not only proved a mother of six can juggle the demands of school and family life, she proved North Central can truly help you realize your dreams. She’s been accepted to the University of Michigan, where she’ll further her focus in history and literature and obtain her doctoral degree.
“If I can find the time to go to college with six kids, anyone can. Don’t let life get in the way.”
