Poplar Bluff, Missouri - Three Rivers College unveiled its new Mobile Training Labs at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 25 on the institution’s Poplar Bluff Campus. The Labs will serve as fully functional, multi-purpose classrooms for the college’s workforce development programs.
Speakers at the ceremony included Dr. Devin Stephenson, President of Three Rivers College; Darren Garrison, Chair of the Three Rivers Board of Trustees; Felicity Brady, Executive Director of the Ozark Foothills Regional Planning Commission; and Christopher Masingill, Federal Co-Chair of the Delta Regional Authority.
“Three Rivers has made it a priority to reach out to rural areas with limited access to workforce development opportunities,” said Stephenson. “We expect to train 400 more people every year by being able to take training to the job sites.”
The Mobile Training Labs were made possible through a $200,000 grant from the Delta Regional Authority (DRA), a federal-state partnership that helps to create jobs and build communities throughout the eight states of the Delta region. The remainder of the approximately $350,00 cost came from Three Rivers College.
“Three Rivers is proving that it is a leader in developing innovative education methods in response to the changing needs of employers and students,” said Masingill. “There is nothing more important to economic development than education and workforce training. Community colleges such as Three Rivers understand that and are working to deliver that education and training efficiently and cost-effectively.”
The two Mobile Training Labs are built into two trailers, which are 40 and 36 feet long. The trailers can be configured for multiple types of training, from traditional classroom-style leadership courses to specialized pneumatics and electronics instruction. The labs can also be outfitted as a small computer lab for software-based or online training. Both labs can be parked at work sites for indefinite periods of time, cutting down on travel expenses and lost work time for area manufacturers needing training for their employees.
According to the college’s Department of Workforce Development, Three Rivers has already received significant interest from local employers in scheduling training sessions. College officials said that they will begin using the labs for training before the end of the year.
Three Rivers College is committed to contributing to the quality of life in Southeast Missouri with quality, affordable higher education opportunities and community services that support and encourage the economic, civic, and cultural vitality of the region.
