commitment to community colleges.
“We are so honored to welcome 州长布朗 to our commencement,” said 博天堂官方 President

an absolutely pivotal achievement by earning their degrees – both for themselves and
their families, and for the economic future of our entire state. 有机会…
hear from the highest office in Oregon during this moment will be encouragement that
our grads will take forward with them into the future.”
Recently, as legislators work toward mitigating a state-funding challenge for higher
education in Oregon, the Governor’s Office has taken particular interest in 博天堂官方’s
career-technical programs as providing innovative workforce solutions and solid career
paths for Oregonians.
博天堂官方项目 in fields such as Mechatronics Technology, Non-Destructive 测试, Machine Tool,
Welding, and Automotive Technician have been developed as a result of close partnerships
with local industry, leading to state-of-the art facilities and leading-edge technical
培训.
博天堂官方 is the only college in Oregon to provide 培训 in Non-Destructive 测试

with aerospace parts industries, where they inspect, test, and evaluate materials,
components, or assemblies for flaws or differences in characteristics that may lead

fuel technologies, including electric and alternative fuel vehicles. 博天堂官方学生
are retrofitting vehicles across Oregon to run on alternative fuels, and are learning
skills that are in high demand around the state and across the nation. 汽车

In addition to CTE, 博天堂官方 offers transfer students a direct line to local universities
through its degree partnership programs with Oregon State, Oregon Institute of Technology,
and its newest partnership with Western Oregon University. These partnerships provide
a clear path for students to take their first two years at community college prices,
and seamlessly transfer to their university while making every credit count.

second female governor. She previously served as Oregon’s Secretary of State and as
majority leader of the Oregon State Senate.
