People lost their jobs and struggled to make ends meet, all while trying to continue with their education. We transitioned to remote instruction early in the pandemic and made sure all our support services also transitioned. The QCC Foundation, created a Student Emergency Fund that has raised over $109,000 for students in need. QCC students received this aid regardless of their citizenship, residency and whether or not they were full-time or part-time students. Today, most classes are being delivered through remote instruction for the safety of our students, faculty, staff and community. The time is ripe to enter the manufacturing sector and QCC is leading the way in educating our future workforce and helping manufacturers increase productivity, ROI, and remain competitive in today's environment.
