South Mountain Community College student Perla Rodriguez represented the college after she was selected to attend the International Summer Program this July in Baja California, Mexico. The two-week program is hosted by Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior (CETYS) at its Ensenada International Campus and invites students from over 20 countries to experience cultural immersion through its classes, events and industry visits.

Through the program, Perla participated in the university’s class titled “The Art of Strategy: From Vision to Results”, where she had the opportunity to visit local businesses to gain hands-on experiences that would later be implemented into a group project of creating their own business.

South Mountain Community College recently received a grant intended to expand the capacity of the college’s Construction Trades Institute (CTI) and strengthen the workforce training pathways aligned with Arizona’s growing demand for skilled construction professionals.

With this grant, SMCC will support a full-time electrical faculty position for one year who will teach advanced coursework and assist in second-level commercial and industrial electrical training.

The funding will also help sustain the adjunct faculty support within the carpentry and electrical pathways offered through the Early College’s Achieving a College Education (ACE) program, ultimately creating greater opportunities and access for the high school students pursuing careers in the skilled trades.
