Building strong communities through partnerships

Alpena Regional Medical Center gets ahead with help from ACC

When Alpena Regional Medical Center needed training for their staff, Alpena Community College provided the perfect solution.

ARMC needed to offer computer classes to a large number of employees. However, the hospital didn’t have all the resources necessary to coordinate this project. By connecting with specialized training offered by ACC, the hospital was able to play an active role in the selection of instructors and course content for the sessions. The partnership between ARMC and the college provided the flexibility to select classes specific to the organization, but also presented the opportunity to collaborate with other area organizations for classes that applied to a wider audience.

“We were able to obtain training in specialized areas that would otherwise have been financially unattainable for us. Not only were we able to get the training we needed, we were able to have a larger number of staff members attend, and at times that best fit their schedule,” said Steve Mousseau of ARMC.

The training was made available through the H-1B Technical Skills training grant which ran from 2004-2007.  ACC won a national workforce development award from the Department of Labor for the H-1B project in summer 2007. Under the H-1B grant ACC was able to offer MCSE level training in seven one-week courses, which many of the IT professionals regionally came to the college to take.  This level of training had not previously been available in the region.

ACC also worked with ARMC to develop three weeks of Oracle training held in the hospital's Annex Building that was part of the programming language groundwork for the hospital's Electronic Medical Record project.
