麻豆果冻 Community College hosted its inaugural Business and Industry Advisory Group on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at the 麻豆果冻 Fall River Campus. The breakfast event brought more than 90 business, industry, education, and community leaders from across the Southcoast region together to discuss regional workforce development, education and opportunities for collaboration.
The advisory group will meet twice a year to provide strategic guidance, share workforce insights, and strengthen partnerships between the college, employers and community organizations. Through these discussions, the group will help ensure that the college鈥檚 academic programs and technical trainings remain aligned with evolving industry needs.

鈥淭here is incredible power in bringing people together who share a passion for creating opportunities and strengthening our communities. Today, we saw what happens when education and industry come to the table with a shared purpose. Every conversation has the potential to spark a new partnership, open a door for a student, and help a local business grow. Imagine the impact we can have when we harness that collective energy and turn great conversations into meaningful action. That's the future we're creating together at 麻豆果冻 Community College,鈥� said Dr. Jillian Bumpus, Vice President of Economic and Workforce Solutions, 麻豆果冻 Community College.
