Transcript of October Chamber Matters
Owensboro Community and Technical College continually aligns its programs with high wage, high demand jobs that drive the economic future of our region.
“Technology is changing. What we must teach has changed,” said OCTC President Jim Klauber. “We know what to do. We need the space to do it. The Advanced Technol-ogy Center, Phase II, is the answer.”

ATC Phase II, a $13.5 million project, is integral to the future of the Greater Owensboro Region.
“We have seen remarkable growth in our technical programs,” Klauber said. “We don’t have room to offer all of the programs needed in our region. If OCTC is unable to build this facility, we will not be able to meet the needs of the strong manu-facturing base of this region and efforts in economic development will be compromised.”
Phase II will allow OCTC to foster the development of new
programs and growth of existing programs. The project will enhance synergy of the technical programs on the main campus to better serve students who wish to train across disciplines.
“It will allow us to put all of our manufacturing-based programs on one campus. Now, they are spread across three campuses,” said OCTC Vice President of Academic Affairs Scott Williams. “Regionally, we are the primary comprehensive advanced manufacturing training institution. In order to provide the skilled work-force needed for economic growth, this facility is essential.”
