Economic Impact of Sisseton-Wahpeton College on the Regional Economy

Abstract

As economic development has become increasingly based on technology and information, education and training have become increasingly critical to the economic well being of both individuals and communities. Thus, decision makers are concerned that all North Dakotans have access to quality education and training programs. Responsibility for provision of workforce training and skills development extends from the state’s research universities to its community colleges. This report estimates the contribution of the SissetonWahpeton College to the regional economy.
