The North Carolina Community College System has put forth a two-year Curriculum Improvement Project (CIP) to integrate sustainability skills in the areas of energy, building, environment, transportation, and engineering technology to meet the needs of an emerging green workforce. Wilson Community College has been selected as the lead college to coordinate a CIP in the building sector. This Golden LEAF grant will support the efforts of Wilson Community College to collaborate with industry and other community colleges to revitalize applied science programs and courses in construction, engineering and industrial technology that will result in specialized credentials and training for participants in the technologies that meet the needs for a green building workforce in North Carolina.
