The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to support Lenoir Community College’s effort to develop a non-degree, short-term training program focused on fundamental skills needed for quick entry into the commercial construction trades industry. The program, offered in Jones County, will complement the masonry program at Jones County High School, provide training to individuals for construction trade occupations resulting from military base expansions in eastern NC and other commercial growth in and around the Kinston area, and introduce green construction practices.
