In February, 2008, Letterkenny Army Depot formed an educational/training
partnership with Wilson College to serve Letterkenny Army Depot
employees, contractors, tenants, and others with Letterkenny covering
the educational expenses for its employees. A grant of $400,000 was
successfully obtained by the late state Sen. Terry Punt.
This allowed
for the renovation of Building 102 into a state-of-the-art education
facility. The Training Center, as it is named, was completed in spring
2008.
The purpose for the partnership is to provide on-going college-credit
classes for employees. At the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement,
Letterkenny’s progressive leadership was acknowledged, recognizing the
importance of higher education and strengthening employee
skills. Employees are able to enroll in Wilson classes both in Building
102 and at the college with tuition and fees paid by Letterkenny.
Since
the first classes were offered in summer 2008, Letterkenny employees
have enrolled in classes as either non-degree or degree seeking
students.
Employees are required to talk with their supervisors
about their personal development and desire for continuing
education. Paperwork needs to be completed, specifically SF182, and
permission must be obtained. For questions on Letterkenny, contact the Human Resource Specialist on base.
After paperwork is completed, employees can contact Beverly Evans, Director of Admissions for the Adult Degree Program, at Mary Foltz, Assistant Director of Admissions for ADP, at mary.foltz@wilson.edu or call 717-262-2025 for more information.
