This grant provided funding to Isothermal Community College to support improved workforce training and to develop career pathways in advanced industrial technologies and agribusiness. The project equipped training bays and constructed an agribusiness clinical site on campus to benefit community college students, FFA members, and incumbent manufacturing workers. Funding from the US Economic Development Administration, Rutherford County and the Appalachian Regional Commission supported the construction of the new facility where these program would be located. Golden LEAF funds were used for equipment, construction of the clinical site, personnel, and travel expenses.
