 Otsego Career Access Network

Otsego County students are college‑ready, but far fewer have historically enrolled in or completed post‑secondary education. By investing in the Otsego Career Access Network, the Otsego Community Foundation is helping close that gap—boosting enrollment, increasing completion, and strengthening the county’s workforce for the future.
