This Golden LEAF grant provided funding to Martin Community College to expand its Industrial Systems Technology programs and provide training necessary to support an expansion at Ann’s House of Nuts (AHON) in Robersonville. Martin Community College used Golden LEAF grant funds to expand a building used by the Industrial Systems Technology programs by 1,000 square feet, and to purchase automated equipment to train students in skills needed to fill technical operator and maintenance technician positions at AHON and other industries. These skills are also useful at other local businesses that use advanced technology and electronic controls in production.
