This grant provides funding to Alamance Community College to support development of a Veterinary Medical Technician (VMT) program. With only five public VMT programs in the state, ACC’s program will help address a critical workforce need among the rural and agriculture-based communities in and surrounding Alamance County. The program pipeline is also supported by strong demand in the county’s animal science Career and Technical Education cluster. This project anticipates 24 students completing the VMT program, 20 completers earning industry certification, and 12 high school students completing related CTE pathways. Golden LEAF funds will be used toward the cost of constructing the barn for the program.
