Truman Contributes to Economic Partnership

 

Truman has joined a collaborative effort with the City of Kirksville and The Kraft Heinz Company to help meet workforce needs and bolster the local economy. For its role in the partnership, Truman will utilize the currently unoccupied Centennial Hall to provide temporary housing to recruited Kraft Heinz employees while they make permanent living arrangements in Kirksville. The University will also enroll all of the program participants in a one-credit course designed to aid in their transition to the area. Details regarding the partnership can be found on a Truman FAQ website. The original statement from the City of Kirksville can be found here.
