Garden City Career Connections Academy (GCCCA) was awarded a grant through Tyson Foods, Inc. to support their participation in the new Upward Pathways Pilot project.
The Upward Pathways Pilot project is a workforce development initiative through Tyson Foods with a goal of providing job-specific training to employees. This program will introduce Tyson employee students to an integrated education and training program focused on industrial maintenance, resulting in skill attainment and professional advancement for participants through Garden City Community College.
Through this grant, Tyson will invest an initial $10,000 to fund the educational cost of program participants at GCCC. Other initiatives are underway to procure additional grant dollars to help increase and advance this partnership further.
