Workforce Programs Moving Forward
The Chipola College Workforce Education
programs are planning to re-launch their
clockhour programs in the coming weeks. 

The Automotive Technology program Summer 1
term is successfully moving forward virtually during
May and with modified hands-on learning during June.

Darwin Gilmore, Chipola Dean of Workforce
Education, says, “This is an innovative, progressive
path helping our automotive students advance during
these difficult times. Automotive instructors John
Gardner and Josh Ellis are doing an outstanding job.”

Chipola is planning a June 1 relaunch of the Firefighting,
Corrections, and Law Enforcement training programs with
a modified approach meeting distancing and group size
safety guidelines. Gilmore says, “I am so proud of our Director of Public Service, Jamie McAllister, and his team.
We offer quality and consistency which helps our trainees earn credentials and prepare them well for their chosen
occupations. Our Public Service exam pass rate and placement rate are routinely among the best in the state.

Welding and Cosmetology also are excellent and well-run programs. Lead instructors Curtis
Jenkins and Paige Vanderwerf respectively, plan to start with a modified face-to-face approach
during the Summer 2 Session. Chipola is now registering students for these opportunities. 

Chipola’s credit hour Engineering Programs will start again in the Fall term with plans to add clock hour
programs to both Engineering Tech (mechanical and electrical skills) as well as Civil Engineering Tech
platforms. Gilmore says, “I am excited to develop these programs which will be shorter pathways to help
our students get to work and align with credentials which even better connect with regional demands.” 

Chipola’s Summer Session 2 classes begin June 30 with registration ongoing.

Science Seminars, a wonderful new endeavor for the campus. She is always available and willing to help her students to help
them succeed in her courses.”
