This is precisely what Penn College embodies - a thriving ecosystem of creators, innovators, and leaders who are changing the game. From workforce development to corporate partnerships, the institution is tightly bound to the industry, ensuring that its students are job-ready and prepared to take on the challenges of the 21st century.

It’s heartening to see that the college has been awarded a $4 million grant for apprenticeship expansion, further solidifying its position as a leader in vocational training. This not only benefits the students but also the industries they go on to lead. As I delved deeper into the college’s stories, I was struck by the impact that ’tomorrow makers’ are having across campus and beyond.
