Johnson County Community College is a proud training partner to JoCoWorks, a county initiative that provides short-term skills-based training to qualified individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The federal government earmarked funding for workforce development to pay for training and skill-building for Johnson County residents who have experienced job loss and wage cuts because of COVID-19.
