Miami Dade College Receives $700,000 From JPMorgan Chase Bank

JPMorgan Chase awarded $700,000 to Miami Dade College on Oct. 17 at the college’s board of trustees meeting in an effort to produce more eligible candidates in the information technology, trade and logistic fields.

Each year for the next two years, 100 to 150 MDC students ages 16 to 24 will be able to receive fast-track training through the MDC Career Connect initiative because of the donation.

“It is critically important for young people to gain the skills needed to have successful careers,” Southeast Communications Director Michael Fusco said. “The information technology, trade and logistic fields are growing and with it, a gap to fill. We are making a large investment to help close that gap and assist students in landing those jobs.”
