Education
Combine a quality education system with a strong, Midwestern work ethic and what do you get? One of the nation’s highest rated work forces located in the “Heartland of America.”
Nebraska high school students consistently achieve among the best average scores in the nation for both the SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test) and the ACT (American College Testing Assessment).
The distance learning programs are also unique to Nebraska with sophisticated learning available to high school students from statewide colleges and universities.
Fortunately, the educational and technical training of Nebraska workers does not end with high school. Significant opportunities for continuing education exist within the state colleges and universities and within the statewide community college system. With the industrial sector becoming more aware of the significant benefits associated with the presence of quality institutions of higher education, Nebraska’s postsecondary educational institutions represent an important asset for new and expanding businesses. Below are the local educational facilities serving the tri-county region:
