Central Arizona College has been selected as a 2022 Workforce Development category finalist for the highly coveted Bellwether Award.
CAC’s innovative project Education at the Speed of Industry, highlighting the institution’s partnership with Wilson Electric, is recognized for creating strategic alliances that promote community and economic development.
In December 2018, Wilson Electric approached CAC to explore a partnership in developing a commercial electrical installation program, mirroring the college’s partnership with Sundt Construction. The partnership with Sundt led to a 2020 Bellwether Award win.
The Bellwether Awards are regarded as the nation’s most competitive and prestigious recognition for community colleges and the only award evaluated by experts and practitioners in the field. In its 28 years of celebrating community colleges, the Bellwether College Consortium is proud to identify outstanding and innovative programs or practices that can then be shared and replicated.
The Bellwether Award is proudly sponsored by the Alamo Colleges District in San Antonio, Texas.
