Free Job Training Education At KCC

Kellogg Community College has yet another no-cost, job training program. In a press release on Monday, KCC is reminding applicants of a manufacturing job training program beginning in March, offered at no cost for Battle Creek residents who meet income guidelines.

The program is one of many, free and cost-effective options for prospective students. Michigan residents age 25 and older who don’t yet have a college degree are eligible for free tuition to complete an associate degree or a skill certificate program at Kellogg Community College through the state’s new Michigan Reconnect program.
