North Central Missouri College is working toward acquiring a property in Savannah possibly before the end of the year.
Having a location in Savannah will enable the college to eventually consolidate programs and services currently offered at several leased locations around northwestern Missouri and better meet the needs of students in the area. The Savannah site would be an addition to the Main and Barton campuses currently located in Trenton.
“As we have advanced in terms of programming and recruiting over the past five years to meet the needs of students this is a next step toward better serving our entire 16-county service region,” said Dr. Lenny Klaver, President. “We are excited to work with the city of Savannah as well as traditional students and adult learners in the western/northwestern parts of our service region to provide career technical education and two-year transfer degrees as stated in our college mission.”
Subject to fundraising, availability of state grants, and other sources, the college hopes to offer short-term workforce training at the site as early as fall 2021, with credit programming offered by fall 2022 to meet job market needs and regional student interests.
“We are excited to build on our existing relationship with the Savannah School District. We are already offering evening technical classes at the high school, and the superintendent, principal and all the staff have been fantastic to work with. This is a next step for us to better serve the community,” said Dr. Tristan Londre, Vice President of Academic Affairs.
NCMC’s service region is comprised of 16 counties, including Andrew, Nodaway, Holt, De Kalb and Gentry.
