  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I am excited to recognize Harper Community 
College in Palatine, IL, which will be opening its new Career and 
Technical Education Center on January 23. This new building, with 
state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, will house some of Harper's 
fastest-growing technical programs such as manufacturing, welding, 
architectural technology, heating, ventilation and air conditioning 
(HVAC), maintenance technology, law enforcement, and fire science.
  Programs in this building will help provide students with the skills 
they will need in the future. These programs will help put people to 
work and support local employers who are seeking a highly-skilled 
workforce to compete in the 21st Century global economy.
  The building will also house Harper's innovative Advanced 
Manufacturing Program. The program partners with 75 area manufacturing 
companies which offer paid internships to manufacturing students 
attending Harper College.

  I applaud the Harper College community on the opening of its new 
Career and Technical Education Center, and I look forward to its 
continued leadership in bringing educational opportunities to students 
in the 10th District.
