Coffeyville Community College's Columbus Tech Campus is recognized for its efforts in workforce training.

 

The Columbus Chamber of Commerce awarded CCC with the Community Impact Pillar Award for the school's contributions to workforce development, hands-on learning, and community involvement. CCC’s Columbus Technical Campus provides hands-on technical training designed to prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce.
