AT&T announced a $5,000 contribution to Turner Community Connection (TCC).
The contribution is targeted to specifically help students by providing job training and placement services with local businesses where students can gain real-world experience and save money for their education.
“We’re thrilled to be able to help such a worthy organization as Turner Community Connection, which helps prepare students to enter the workforce and encourages them to further their education,” said Steve Hahn, President of AT&T Kansas. “As a company, AT&T is committed to advancing education, strengthening communities and improving lives because these investments not only strengthen communities, but our company as well.”
"Education is the key to our children's financial future and the economic growth of our state,” said state Sen. Pat Pettey. “Thanks to the support of AT&T, Turner Community Connection [TCC] will be able to help more students equip themselves with skills that will prepare them for the work world and help them appreciate the value of continuing their education through high school and beyond and what it will do for them in the future."
As an organization that works to create a better quality of life for the Turner area community, through community-based problem solving, neighborhood-oriented services and public/private cooperation, TCC has been aiding area youth by providing Summer Youth Employment and Excellence in Education programs.
