🎉 Meet Jasmine! 🎉

We're excited to welcome Jasmine Bassett to Washington County Community College as our new Workforce Student Coordinator!

With experience as a Program Director, Social Services Director, and most recently a HOPE/PaS Pathway Navigator for JMG, Jasmine has dedicated her career to supporting people, solving problems, and helping others reach their goals.

Please join us in giving Jasmine a warm WCCC welcome! 💙

We’re proud to celebrate the inaugural year of the Money Maker Showdown and the incredible journey it’s been! 🎉

Over the past year, Machias Savings Bank partnered with Junior Achievement of Maine, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG), MaineStreet Business Building, and Washington County Community College (WCCC) to pilot a cohort-based program designed to help guide students in business planning, entrepreneurial skill-building, and research for their unique business ideas.

Through monthly lessons and mentorship, these students worked hard to develop their business ideas leading up to a final pitch competition right here in Machias on May 20.

The creativity, dedication, and innovation we saw from these young leaders was truly remarkable. We’re honored to help create opportunities that empower the next generation of entrepreneurs in our communities.

👏 Congratulations to all who participated and thank you to our partners for making this vision a reality!
