Empower Southeast Community College

Empower Southeast Community College

To grow our economy, Nebraska needs to offer affordable options to access the life-changing benefits of higher education and attract and retain the best and brightest workforce.

The EMPOWER campaign will have a direct and immediate impact on workforce shortages in key and critical industries of agriculture, information technology, construction trades and welding technology. Each of these sectors is sounding the alarm as their need for a skilled workforce intensifies. With improved and expanded facilities, SCC is positioned to answer this call. Without the workforce, our economy cannot grow. SCC EMPOWERS student success today, leading to the EMPOWERED careers and communities of tomorrow.

Key Goals of the
Campaign are to:

Expand capacity to meet Nebraska’s growing workforce needs. Career and technical programs have a substantial impact on our state’s workforce shortages and needs. With more than 80 programs of study already in operation, SCC is uniquely suited to help fill these gaps and strengthen Nebraska’s homegrown talent.

Advance access to affordable higher education and improve educational attainment. By providing open access to the life-changing benefits of higher education, SCC is working to educate the state’s population in ways that work best for them and their future employers.

Enhance quality of life and prosperity in Nebraska. By training Nebraska’s future professionals, SCC is actively building for the growth and future of the 15-county service area.
