Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan is anchored on seven key pillars. We use key performance Indicatotes or KPI's, to track progress, celebrate success, and make adjustments so that every effort advances students, strengthens our community, and benefits our employees. While we continue to play a pivotal role in the region's education, innovation, and prosperity, we are also committed to addressing new challenges affecting our region and maximizing these opportunities to have a positive effect on students' lives and surrounding communities. In collaboration with K-12 providers, colleague colleges and universities, community leaders, and business and industry partners, MC stands ready to help address the priorities of immediate workforce needs and foster future industry growth while putting student success at the center of all we do.
