St. Louis Community College’s new Corporate College received a 2012 Business Development Award from North County Inc. (NCI) at the organization’s annual breakfast on May 18. The awards are presented to organizations whose efforts positively affect the economic development and business climate of the North County area. 

“We are extremely honored to receive this NCI award for the Corporate College, St. Louis Community College’s first facility solely dedicated to corporate education unlike any other asset the college owns,” said Rod Nunn, STLCC’s vice chancellor for workforce and community development. “We look forward to the Corporate College serving as a ‘home away from home’ for NCI’s members in the form of more than 18,000 square feet of best-in-class meeting and event space combined with a robust menu of entrepreneurial workforce solutions designed to advance people, businesses and communities.”  

The Corporate College is located at 3221 McKelvey Road, at the crossroads of I-70 and I-270 just south of DePaul Health Center. This state-of-the-art 149,553-square-foot Class A building opened this spring and is part of the college’s growing network of facilities and programs bringing demand-driven workforce training to the greater St. Louis region. The Workforce Solutions Group, which operates the Corporate College, offers a robust set of programs and services at the facility through its units of Corporate Services, Continuing Education and Community Services. 

The Corporate College offers meeting and event services, professional development opportunities including industry-specific licensure and certification preparation/testing, an array of performance improvement programs, industry-specific seminar series highlighting critical issues, and lifelong learning courses for personal enrichment.
