Table Rock Career Center to Receive $17 Million in State Funding

Saturday, July 8, 2023 at 12:00 AM

The 2024 state budget, recently signed by Governor Parson, includes $17 million in funding for the new Table Rock Career Center. Part of the Reeds Spring School District, this center will provide students with a state-of-the-art facility to receive career and technical education, which will better prepare them for the workforce.

This funding would not have been possible without the support of Senator Karla Eslinger and Senator Lincoln Hough. It’s a significant investment in the future of Missouri's workforce. The center is expected to positively impact the local economy, as businesses will be able to hire workers with the skills they need to grow and thrive. In addition, the center will provide students with a pathway to good-paying jobs and a secure financial future.

“The approval of this funding is the result of a collaborative effort between local legislators, educators, and business leaders who recognize the importance of providing students with high-quality career and technical education,” said Reeds Spring Superintendent Dr. Cody Hirschi. “By investing in the Table Rock Career Center, Missouri is taking a significant step toward ensuring that its workforce is prepared to meet the challenges of the modern economy.”

 

The Table Rock Career Center will offer programs in a variety of fields, including welding, automotive technology, marine technology, construction, and healthcare. Students will have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications while still in high school. The goal of the center is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, whether they choose to go directly into the workforce or pursue further education.

 

TRCC is currently under construction and is expected to be ready for the 2024-2025 school year. Run by the Reeds Spring School District, it will serve students from 12 school districts in Stone, Taney, and Christian counties.
