An increasing job market for technical
careers in the Show-Me State led to an expansion at one of Missouri’s
educational institutions.
Ranken Technical College announced the opening of a
new location earlier
today. The new campus reinforces the institution's goal of working
closely with industry leaders to provide the skills and training required
by top-local companies. The new satellite campus is expected to help fill the increasing number of technology jobs in the state.
At Ranken, students will have the option to receive a two-year or four-year degree by taking day or night classes while learning in-demand job skills. Training programs in Perryville are currently being held at 1205 Corporation Ln., and the school has plans to expand to a new facility in the coming years.
Missouri ranks among the top 20 states
for manufacturing employment, according to the
Missouri Economic Research and Information Center. The industry has added
18,300 jobs since 2010, growing at a quicker rate than the national average. In
2015, Missouri’s manufacturing payroll averaged $56,368 per employee, which is
$10,000 higher than the state’s average private sector wage.
