We realize that many people are balancing full-time jobs, family and personal responsibilities and the thought of adding another obligation may seem totally out of the realm of possibility, but we provide a flexible schedule with most classes and programs being available in the evening or online. Our courses and programs are taught by professionals who are in the particular field or have previously worked in the field, ensuring the best education and hands-on training for each program.

Nathan Householder, Paramedic Graduate

Worforce Program Success

"Many jobs today, and I'm talking in the millions, are available to those with skill or trade experience. The certificate I obtained upon completion of GC’s paramedic program along with the National Registry Certification, has allowed me to gain licenses in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Dakota, all without attending another paramedic program.

Attending a four-year school or obtaining an associate's or bachelor's degree is not for everyone. There is no shame in trade work. This country was built by tradesmen and tradeswomen – there will always be a need for those with a trade."

All-In Business Plan Competition, Power of Possibilities

"Our involvement in the Power of Possibilities competition reassured us that we had a good business idea and plan," stated Brian Bowers, co-owner of Discount Duo. "It gave us the confidence to follow our dream and become entrepreneurs in our start-up venture. Guidance and feedback from Jodi McClintock at Garrett College and colleagues from the Garrett County Economic Development office were extremely important as we developed our business plan.

The experience bonded us together with other participants, mentors, and those we met through networking. As a result, friendships developed – we were definitely not expecting this from a competition."
