Midpoint Campus is collaboration between The University of Akron and Lorain County Community College and is located at the “midpoint” between the two main campuses. A group of approximately thirty alumni arrived bright and early for a presentation about the facility given by Lena Knight’97, Outreach Services Specialist and Lori Peters, Training Manager, Business Division. After enjoying a continental breakfast provided by Midpoint, the alumni learned about the many services they are able to provide and enjoyed a tour of the facility. |

By entering into several partnerships with local employers, Medina County Workforce Development and Medina County University Center, Midpoint is able to offer courses ranging from the College for Kids, serving grades 4, 5 and 6 to Lifelong Learning Classes for those over 50. A conference center, boasting the latest technology, is also available to businesses, local groups and non-profits.

Employers can take advantage of their Taste of Training to upgrade employees’ skills and help them grow into leadership roles. Employee testing as well as access to the Third Frontier Internship Program and Project Hire is also offered for employers. All classrooms are equipped with smart boards and a computer lab is available free of charge to the public. If you are looking to grow or start a new business, you may want to investigate their Entrepreneurship Innovation Center.

With so much to offer both in education and business, Midpoint Campus Center certainly believes “Collaboration is a good thing”. Thank you to Chair Mari Halkovich and her committee for providing this opportunity to explore and learn about this jewel in Northern Medina County.
