CHILDCARE-EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECONOMIC HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. A LACK OF CHILDCARE OPTIONS HAS AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY BY CAUSING FEWER HOMES SOLD, FEWER CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND RECRUITING DIFFICULTIES FOR OUR BUSINESSES. LACK OF QUALITY CHILDCARE IS ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE POPULATION DRAIN. BY HAVING A CHILDCARE PROGRAM SPECIALIST, THE NWKEICI IS BETTER ABLE TO TACKLE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE.
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM-THIS PROGRAM HELPS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN ORDER TO ASSIST LOCAL RESIDENTS IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE. TRAINING IS AVAILABLE IN BLOCKCHAIN ANALYTICS, COMPUTER CODING LANGUAGES, AND REMOTE WORK TRAINING. BUILDING A TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM IN NORTHWEST KANSAS WILL ATTRACT RESIDENTS TO THE AREA.
