Crawford County proclaims April 21 'JobCore Open Day' as supervisors approve proclamation
Summary
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors approved a proclamation recognizing JobCore’s open day in Denison and heard student leaders describe career training programs; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors voted to proclaim April 21, 2026, as JobCore Open Day in Crawford County after a short presentation by JobCore staff and students.
Patty Richie, who described herself as the community engagement coordinator for JobCore, introduced student leaders and outlined program results. "We do have over 230 students graduate from our program in Denison approximately yearly," she told the board, and described new additions such as welding and an LPN program. Students attending the meeting introduced themselves: Gabe Benjamin identified himself as student president.
Supervisor Kyle moved to approve the proclamation and Supervisor Jean seconded the motion. The board approved it by voice vote with the chair recorded in favor.
Why it matters: JobCore is a national residential career training program for young adults and its Denison campus contributes to local workforce development and industry partnerships; county recognition is intended to raise awareness and encourage community partnerships.
Next steps: JobCore representatives outlined an open house and said they continue to recruit community partners and employers. County supervisors thanked JobCore staff and students for attending and moved on to other items on the agenda.
