Congressman Kean requested $978,625 for Warren Community College in this year\u2019s appropriation process. The funding would be used for improvements to the existing Agricultural Education and Training Center\u2019s facilities to serve as a location for training students on vocational agriculture and culinary studies.\n\n\u201cHands-on experience bridges the gap between classroom learning and practical application, providing opportunities that can be transformed into valuable real-world skills,\u201d said Congressman Kean. \u201cThis funding would provide students with the necessary resources and training in vocational agriculture and culinary studies, helping to foster skill development and workforce readiness in these fields. I thank President Austin and his team for taking the time to show me the site today and look forward to getting this funding across the finish line.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are honored to welcome Congressman Kean to our Robotics research facility, where we reviewed our past work in precision agriculture and discussed our plans to automate food processing,\u201d said Dr. William Austin, President of Warren Community College. \u201cBy collaborating with local farmers and the Congressman, we aim to develop a cutting-edge food science innovation center for Northwest New Jersey.\u201d\n\nCongressman Kean requested 15 projects in this year\u2019s appropriation process.
