Minneapolis, MN – July 14, 2009 -Cem Erdem, President and CEO of Augusoft, Inc., reaches out to community college program managers with the following statement after President Obama’s speech on the education stimulus plan.
This week at Macomb Community College, President Obama proposed spending $12 billion over 10 years to improve programs, courses, and facilities at two-year institutions and to propel Community College programs' role in educating communities and the workforce.
President Obama also announced "about $9 billion would go toward creating two grant programs for two-year campuses and states to test promising programs and practices, including those designed to improve student learning and training, increase completion rates, and better track student progress“ as stated in the Chronicle of Higher Education on Tuesday, July 14, 2009.
I am thrilled to hear that your non-credit corporate education and workforce development programs continue to move into the foreground of the nation's educational funding plans. I encourage you to contact your Congressman to make your institution and the needs of your corporate clients heard. In 2005 Augusoft redirected development resources to focus on innovations for Community Colleges, realizing you are best positioned to lead reform of the educational system and a catalyst in community and workforce development.
We envision Augusoft Lumens® as the vital "K through 80" education software for lifelong learning programs.
