Bond funding has transformed PCC Southeast into a full-fledged campus, and one of its new services is the third location for the Small Business Development Center, part of the college’s CLIMB Center. Christine Egan, manager of community relations at Southeast Campus, tells the story behind the new center, and why its home in the heart of the Jade District is so vital to helping entrepreneurs to grow this diverse, underserved business district.
PCC’s 2008 voter-approved $374 million bond program is increasing opportunities for residents to access quality, affordable higher education close to where they live and work. Additional classrooms, updated equipment and technology, and advanced workforce training programs are helping to pave the way for future employment options.
