Al Pscholka

Al is the Vice President of Enrollment, Marketing, and Government Relations at Lake Michigan College (LMC). He told us that there are “lots of exciting things happening at LMC,” and proudly said to us that LMC was recently ranked as the best junior college in Michigan by a firm called “Smart Assets” out of New York. They were ranked #1 due to their excellent student-to-teacher ratio, their 79% retention rate, and the low cost of attendance. Most attendees pay no tuition and have their books paid for as well! 

On a slightly different subject, Al spoke about the Berrien Talent Collaborative. This is an apprenticeship program designed to help Berrien County employers access a pool of skilled workers. This program will help fill that gap, benefiting students, employers, and the community. A partnership of Berrien Resa, LMC, the Southwest Regional Chamber, and the Greater Niles Chamber of Commerce runs it.
