WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Island officials will be in Woonsocket Tuesday morning at a grand opening ceremony for the Woonsocket Education Center. The ceremony marks the transformation of the third floor of a vacant and former mill building at 115 Main Street into a much-needed workforce and job skills training center. It will be managed by the Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner and is modeled after a center in Westerly that opened in 2017. Currently, the Community College of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College and New England Institute of Technology are using the classrooms for coursework and training.
