Opening the doors of opportunity and creating the next generation of Minnesota jobs in Moorhead
The next generation of biofuels will power our rural economies and create jobs and opportunity in Minnesota. As Governor, Margaret Anderson Kelliher will invest in programs like Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Moorhead’s innovative two-year research-based associate degree in Biofuels Technology. The program trains students for the next generation of jobs in biofuels and clean energy production. Margaret’s work helped deliver $5.4 million to the college in the 2010 bonding bill for the construction of the school’s first library and expanded classroom space.
The college is opening the doors of opportunity for hard working Minnesotans and fueling Moorhead’s rural economy. More than seventy five percent of the students are first generation college students, and many new students are enrolling to be retrained for the jobs of tomorrow.
As Governor, Margaret Anderson Kelliher will invest in programs like this one because the key to Minnesota’s economic future is a highly skilled workforce – a workforce trained for good jobs in clean energy and manufacturing. She will do everything it takes to create and preserve jobs in Minnesota and in rural economies around the state.
