The Skills Advantage Initiative
Skills Advantage is Kirkwood Community College’s response to an identified need for a more skilled workforce that, in turn, contributes to the dynamics and growth of The Corridor.
A prosperous Corridor – including a workforce with marketable skills – will attract new businesses, contributing to the area’s financial stability. By raising the bar on required workforce skills, Corridor businesses are actively contributing to the future financial success of our communities.
The Skills Advantage Certification has been designed to develop and communicate the skills needed for employment within the Technology Corridor through a series of assessments. These assessments are used by more than 85 area employers as part of their hiring process.
