Internships on West side of the County and more
A $250,000 grant from the Kemper-Ethel Marley Foundation was received in June by Yavapai Community College. It will pay for six interns per semester for the next two years with local companies such as Toro, Ruger, Whipstone Farms, Bent River Machine, and Cobham.
Bent River, the only business on the East side of the County listed by the College as using interns in its brief announcement, is located in Clarkdale. Norela Harrington is listed as the corporate president by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Former Governing Board member Herold Harrington, who was trounced in 2014 by Deb McCasland for his seat on the Board, is listed as secretary and treasurer. The Harringtons’ are listed by the Arizona Corporation Commission as the only two directors of the corporation.
The grant also adds equipment to programs at CTEC.
It will fund the robotics and GEEK youth camps in both the Verde Valley and Prescott areas for the next two summers.
