Broadcaster Press 9 Vermillion Plain Talk 13 March 31, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com 27, www.plaintalk.net n VCT, From Page 2 “Our office and our conversations in our everyday business allow us to make sure and provide information on the building right away as well. “Even having the annual (VCDC) banquet at the VTC on Tuesday was a way of our marketing. Now, we have hundreds of people who have seen the inside of the building and see how great it is. They are also our advocates and some possibilities (for tenants) as well.” Welch remains open to the types of businesses who could occupy the technology center. “There are certainly some different types of sectors that are more attractive to this kind of building,” he said. “But again, with the versatility of the building, it is very customizable for us to be able to now look out for the best opportunities, rather than just one or two sectors.” The VCDC holds certain expectations when it comes to marketing the technology center, Welch said. “The main key we are looking for will be good companies, with good paying jobs, whether part time, full time or a little of both,” he said. “Those are the businesses we like to attract, and we continue to work hard at doing so.” Academic Issues Besides use of the VTC, the lawsuit between the VCDC and Eagle Creek raises another issue. The lawsuit won’t affect an academic partnership between Eagle Creek and the University of South Dakota, according to the Volante campus newspaper. The student-run paper reported on the situation in a November edition. Jim Moran, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, said an Information Technology Consultant Academy is still expected to open this summer for students, the Volante reported. The academy combines four undergraduate courses, an internship, the possibility of employment and the opportunity to pursue a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), the campus newspaper noted. The various aspects are all designed to meet Eagle Creek’s workforce needs. “Our relationship with Eagle Creek still exists,” Moran told the Volante. “We’re so looking forward to them working with us to potentially hire more of our students.” In addition to its partnership with Eagle Creek, USD always seeks to provide more opportunities for its students, Moran said. “We’re looking to partner with other industries besides Eagle Creek, and we’re open to the interest of other IT companies who see this as a potential for hiring our students,” he told the Volante. “This was never designed as something exclusive.” Future Opportunities When it comes to business recruitment, USD students also comprise a large labor pool for interested companies, Welch told the Rhythm in Red won first place in Class 1A at the Mitchell Show Choir Classic last Saturday.
