AACC partnership with employer earns national recognition

Anne Arundel Community College's educational partnership with Northrop Grumman Corp.'s electronic system sector has won a national award.

The National Council for Continuing Education and Training, an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges, gave the partnership its Exemplary Program Award in the work force development category in October at the council's national conference in Richmond, Va.

The county government has funded the initiative through the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corp. since 1996.
