KCCC's Future Focused, soft skills initiative continues! Our September Focus was Professional Communication.
In September, the KCCC community focused on developing the employability skill of professional communication. KCCC staff and students kicked off the month’s focus with an activity that included a message from the University of Alabama and NFL standout Damien Harris about the importance of proactive communication and owning mistakes. Students engaged in conversations throughout the month about what professional communication looks like, the consequences of not using professional communication, and did some role playing to drive the message home.
Future Focused is an initiative about the importance of soft skills, equipping students with the tools to be employable. KCCC's industry partners note soft skills as a key to professional success. Through Future Futured, KCCC strives to teach students to be professional, be prepared, and be future focused.

KCCC experienced vandalism the past two summers in the Children's Garden. These acts of vandalism prompted KCCC to pursue more extensive security measures in order to keep the Children's Garden open. KCCC applied for grants to receive funding for the security measures and received $7,000 from the Knox County Foundation, and $2,500 from the Knox County Safety Council. KCCC contributed the remaining $2,700.
"We are so grateful for the Knox County Foundation and the Knox County Safety Council for providing funds to enhance security measures in the Children's Garden. These measures will assist us in keeping the Garden open to the community," Superintendent Kathy Greenich shared.
