The grant announced by the state is part of the
\nfourth round of NYSUNY 2020 Challenge grants.<\/p>\n

“As upstate New York’s economy continues
\nto grow, we must ensure that our workforce has
\nthe skills and training needed to fulfill the jobs
\ncreated by new and emerging industries,” Gov.
\nAndrew Cuomo said. “This grant will allow SUNY
\nAdirondack to build a state-of-the-art facility that
\nensures workers receive the training they need,
\nso that new businesses are assured of a quality
\nworkforce.”
\nIt will be built on the Queensbury campus.
\nSUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy
\nsaid the new facility funded by the grant “will
\nplace SUNY Adirondack at the center of workforce
\ndevelopment in our region … This new, state-of-the-
\nart facility will support healthcare workers
\nin high demand, small business development
\nand growth, and create dedicated space to invite
\na cutting-edge Lyme disease research and testing
\nlab to our region.”<\/p>\n

Duffy said it will result in a single-stop for the
\nbusiness community to engage with students and
\nfaculty “to create meaningful experiences that
\nsupport a 21st-century learning environment
\nwhere students apply their classroom knowledge
\nto real-world settings through partnerships with area businesses and education leaders.”<\/p>\n

State officials said the Workforce Readiness
\nCenter will work with local employers to train
\nstudents to meet regional workforce development
\nneeds, support the goals of SUNY and the Capital
\nRegion Economic Development Council, and,
\nabove all else, contribute to helping residents
\nsecure employment in the region.<\/p>\n

It will include state-of-the-art training simulation labs for the region’s healthcare
\nworkforce, create a single point of contact for
\nsmall business start-up and growth in a largely
\nentrepreneurial-minded community, and
\ncentralize the college’s workforce development
\nstaff and resources.<\/p>\n

The physical components of the facility include
\na 10,000-square-foot addition connecting SUNY
\nAdirondack’s existing Regional Higher Education
\nCenter to the college’s Science building. Key
\ncomponents of this new space are planned to
\ninclude:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Business Central, a “one-stop” solution center
\nto connect businesses with prospective employees,
\ncareer readiness partners and other resources
\nused to help small business grow<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Healthcare Simulation Labs, a local training
\ncenter for Nursing and healthcare workers
\nthat leverages SUNY Adirondack and SUNY
\nPlattsburgh’s new RN-to-BSN articulation
\nprogram<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Lyme disease research and testing labs in
\npartnership with the German company InfectoLab<\/p>\n

\ncollege’s growing Office of Continuing Education
\nand their workforce training and personal
\nenrichment programs<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 High-capacity, adaptable conference and
\ntraining space for college and community
\nfunctions and events.<\/p>\n

State Sen. Betty Little of Queensbiury said, “I
\ncan’t wait to see the students take advantage of
\nall that this new workforce readiness center will
\nhave to offer … I was very pleased to support
\nSUNY Adirondack’s 20\/20 application and could
\nnot be happier.”<\/p>\n

Assemblyman Dan Stec of Queensbury said
\nthe investment into educating the workforce
\n“will ensure that our region’s workforce has the
\nskills needed to succeed in the jobs of the future.”<\/p>\n

SUNY Adirondack’s Workforce Readiness
\nCenter proposal for the SUNY 2020 grant was
\nbased on a comprehensive study of its Facilities
\nMaster Plan, current facility usage and a review
\nof the needs among the region’s business
\ncommunities, state officials said. It demonstrated
\na clear need for a dedicated location to further
\nthe college’s many existing applied learning and
\nworkforce training initiatives.<\/p>\n

According to the governor’s office, the project
\nis identified as an industry model for community
\ncollege\/business partnerships that support
\ncommunity and workforce needs.<\/p>\n

“The Adirondack Regional Workforce
\nReadiness Center will serve as an important
\nindustry model, showcasing the exceptional
\nopportunities created for students and faculty
\nwhen community colleges partner with the local
\nbusinesses community to provide job training
\nand collectively answer workforce demand,” said
\nSUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.<\/p>\n

SUNY Adirondack has locations in Queensbury,
\nWilton, and online and serves more than 4,000
\nstudents each year via its credit degrees,
\ncertifications and continuing education
