The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to assist Carteret Community College with equipping their Construction Trades Center to prepare a skilled workforce that will meet the needs of the growing construction industry in Carteret County and the coastal region. Training will be available to existing workers as well as high school students. There are plans to establish a dual enrollment construction program with the Carteret County Schools to begin early 2009. It is estimated that over 200 individuals will be trained annually to work in diverse construction sectors.
