With interest rates at historic lows and demand for jobs in key sectors at an all-time high, today's economic climate offers an unprecedented opportunity to make the most cost-effective investment in FVTC's facilities and infrastructure. High job demand among employers in public safety, healthcare, agriculture, and transportation has fueled rapid increases in enrollment, making FVTC the leader among technical colleges statewide in the number of students served. The ability of employers to sustain new job growth depends on their access to a skilled workforce. Approving the referendum will allow FVTC to continue to grow with the times and to give its graduates and their employers the competitive edge needed in today's economy. All this for just pennies a day, or approximately $1 a month per $100,000 of property value. Vote yes, Tuesday April 3rd! For more information visit: http://techworksfvtc.com/ |
