Other community colleges involved have been Westmoreland CCC, which will also be offering a similar degree this Fall, and the Community College of Beaver County which is supporting this effort but not offering a degree at this time. CCAC has not been involved to this point, but has recently joined our group to begin a process of creating a robotics program, probably at their South Campus. Community Colleges have been a critical partner in training a skilled workforce and are preparing people for future jobs that have not even been created yet. Wonderful challenge that we are meeting.
