Coffey visits LLCC

I had a great meeting with Chris Edmonds, the program director of construction trades for the Workforce Institute at Lincoln Land Community College here in Springfield. He has 18 years of experience teaching in high schools and has been at LLCC since 2019.
The construction trades workforce at LLCC is an excellent path forward for students who want to gain more knowledge about commercial building and construction management. His courses offer students flexibility to explore opportunities in the construction field.
Thanks Chris, for meeting with me and for running a fantastic program here in Central Illinois for students who want a career in skilled trades!
