Mott Community College receives $650K for workforce training programs

FLINT, MI — Mott Community College will receive $650,000 in federal funds earmarked by U.S. Senator Gary Peters to use for equipment for existing workforce training programs at the Prahl College Center.

Peters toured the Prahl College Center with Mott Community College President Beverly Walker-Griffea on Tuesday, Jan. 17, when Walker-Griffea and other college officials spoke about plans for renovations in the center.

“We are so grateful for the $650,000 federal earmark that I do not believe this institution has ever (before) received,” Walker-Griffea said.

Funds will be used to purchase equipment for the information technology and cybersecurity programs within the college.

The Prahl College Center will host both departments after the building is renovated to the Prahl Innovation Center, a project that will begin later this year and is expected to be completed by 2025.
