Higher education needed to fill skilled job deficit –The Daily Illini - 10/23/13 Postsecondary credentials are now required to enter the middle class, according to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. As 140,000 high-skilled jobs go unfilled in Illinois each year, Gov. Pat Quinn pushes 60 percent of the state population to hold postsecondary credentials or a degree by 2025.

LaSalle News Tribune Article - 2/8/14 Eleven Illinois Valley-based manufacturers have backed the program by pledging interest in hiring students who earn the certificate. Some have even asked the college to enroll more because they have demand for filling these high-paying positions. Those manufacturers include American Nickeloid, Maze Nails, Eakas and James Hardie of Peru, Carus Corp. of La Salle, Hart Electric of Lostant, HCC of Mendota, MBL (USA) of Ottawa and Transco, Plymouth Tube and Vactor Manufacturing of Streator. The certificate course prepares students for high-performance, technologically advanced production jobs. It also serves a need for employers who want to give additional training to its existing workforce.
