Community-Based Job Training Grant
The Community-Based Job Training Grant is funded by the United States Department of Labor's Education and Training Administration.
Lake-Sumter Community College is a partner in the Community-Based Job Training Grant. The total grant funds of $1,999,392 will address the needs of the healthcare industry by expanding the capacity of Valencia, Seminole, and Lake-Sumter Community Colleges' RN programs. LSCCs nursing program will receive $556,725 to aid in the growth of our program. The expansion includes simulation, clinical scenarios, online enhancement courses, and an advanced training track for LPNs and Paramedics. High school students will earn college credits toward nursing degrees through dual enrollment and Tech Prep courses. Faculty members will develop their skills and simulation knowledge through a new regional Faculty and Curriculum Development Institute and Boot Camp. The project also will serve current health care professionals wishing to transition to RN careers, dislocated workers, and adults seeking to change careers. Through this award, 2,000 students will be served. Community partners will provide leveraged funds in the amount of $1,757,208.
