ABOUT US

OVERVIEW

Over the years, SRJC’s faculty and staff have actively supported the region’s businesses and communities through their involvement in service clubs and professional and community organizations. With the formation of the Economic Development Institute, these cooperative relationships were formalized and given long-term support from the college administration and Board of Trustees.

SRJC’s Economic Development Institute has been an active partner in the North Bay business community since 2001, working hand in hand with industry to address local workforce training issues and to support sustainable economic growth in the region.
