students are in some sort of
health care program.”

said. “If you look at the past. it’s
a good indicator of the future,
and what we see in this commu
nity and around the region is a
real relationship that exists
between the technical college
system and industry. It’s posi
tive and co-dependent relations,
and it’s going to continue to
grow.”
