The Top Workplaces are determined based solely on employee feedback. The survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with more than 30 major publishing partners and recognizes a National list of Top Workplaces. Over the past year, more than 4,500 organizations and 1 in every 100 employees in the U.S. have turned to WorkplaceDynamics to better understand what’s on the minds of their employees.
Clinton Community College President Dr. Karen Vickers commented, “The Top Workplace recognition is a wonderful reflection of the work of our faculty and staff. They do a great job working together to serve our students. We are proud of the designation and committed to working to remain a Top Workplace.”
The history of Clinton Community College began in 1946 when a public referendum was presented to the citizens of Clinton. The answer was a resounding “yes” and on September 9 of that year, the college officially opened its doors.
Clinton Community College is truly a college for the community, enrolling 1,610 students this fall. As a comprehensive community college, Clinton Community College offers much more than college credit coursework. The college’s various non-credit departments provide Community Education classes, Adult Education classes and Business and Industry training. Thousands of area residents annually take advantage of these educational opportunities.
CCC activities stretch beyond the city limits of Clinton to include Clinton and Jackson Counties. The college offers credit and non-credit classes at the CCC Maquoketa Center which opened in the summer of 2009. The college also offers classes in Camanche, DeWitt, Bellevue, Preston, Goose Lake and many other area communities. The main campus of the college is located at 1000 Lincoln Boulevard in Clinton. In 2016, the college completed a facade and library renovation including the addition of a new art gallery to the CCC Library.
Through the years, the college has added new technologies such as the state-of-the-art Virtual and Nursing Labs, and has extended the use of technology throughout. Joint admissions agreements allow students to make a smooth transition upon completion of their CCC program. Partnerships continue throughout the Clinton area and have expanded to include communities such as DeWitt, Calamus/Wheatland and Bellevue. These improvements are evident to students with enrollment increases throughout the years.
Innovative learning opportunities welcome students in every classroom at CCC. Since 2007, more than $8 million has been invested in improvements to support teaching and learning. The college made a commitment that all classrooms offer state-of-the-art technology. This includes a college-wide wireless network, outlets, laptop computers, and the LCD projectors for classroom presentations. The 2009 addition of a science wing, and renovations to the Biology and Microbiology classrooms, offers students a superior education from experienced instructors in a first-rate learning environment. Renovations to the college include high definition teaching and learning lecture halls, and an innovative classroom located in the renovated CCC Library.
