Public invited to celebrate PJC’s 100th with new workforce training facility open house
September 19, 2024
The Hunt County community is invited to join the Paris Junior College – Greenville Center for an Open House showcasing the newly completed workforce training facility. The event is slated from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 30.
“We hope you’ll join us for an evening of celebration as we unveil this new facility,” said Dr. Stephen Benson, PJC President. “It is designed to enhance workforce development and educational opportunities in the region. We’ll have a dedication ceremony, followed by a tour of the building and light refreshments.”
The new training facility matches the original building’s exterior and is slightly over 23,000 square feet. Large bays house four programs, and the facility has been designed to match industry needs as those change over the years.
The initial programs include mechatronics (including an industrial maintenance apprenticeship in partnership with the Greenville Board of Development); heating, air conditioning and refrigeration; electrician; and a new airframe maintenance program.
The PJC-Greenville Center is located at 6500 Monty Stratton Parkway. The new facility is to the west of the original building.
“We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you,” said Benson.
