Community & Technical College Grants
Even though the Carolinas have top-rated community and technical college systems, budgetary constraints present a challenge for them.
In North Carolina, between 2004 and 2011, the Duke Energy Community and Technical College Grant Program awarded $14 million to support worker training programs at 24 community colleges. These grants provide a financial boost that helps enable college systems to extend their expertise, to provide rewarding opportunities for students and, ultimately, to help revitalize manufacturing and other target industries in the region.
More than 6,500 Workers Benefit from Duke Energy Grant Program
Note: Community and technical colleges located in Duke Energy’s South Carolina service area should apply for grants through the AdvanceSC Web site.
