Rural and Community Development

     OCES’s nationally recognized Community & Rural Development Program provides educational and technical assistance to help local leaders and residents promote self-sustaining, long-term economic and community development appropriate to their specific situations.  As such, educational and training programs focus on a wide range of concerns and issues:  Attracting new businesses, expanding existing industry, tourism development, value-added enterprises, product/services research, market analysis, consumer and client opinion surveys, effective customer relations, PRIDE Program, local or county infrastructure development, and many others.  A particular focus of the program is to empower local citizens and groups through participatory, community driven efforts to improve their quality of life.
