Partnerships that empower the community
As the largest workforce educator in Arizona, we are committed to the economic development of our state and local communities, and Maricopa serves the government and business institutions in the Phoenix metro area, Maricopa County, and Arizona. Our Workforce Development department creates initiatives to provide skilled individuals who are workforce-ready and who add to the economic wellness of Phoenix businesses. Additionally, the entire Maricopa Community Colleges system is one of the largest employers in the Phoenix area further contributing to economic prosperity in our communities.
In addition to our traditional educational offerings, we support a community of learning at all levels, from kids summer programs, to earning additional credentials for professionals, as well as lifelong learning opportunities for everyone. Events and special activities - chances to get involved, be entertained, or benefit - abound, such as arts programming, sports events, special exhibits and workshops, and access to library and fitness resources.
Last but not least, we encourage student, faculty, staff, and community participation in activities related to government and civic responsibility to increase awareness about policy issues, how our governing systems operate, and how to contribute to the greater good.
