Description:

The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to support a Mobile Machining Lab that will enable Lenoir Community College to reach future machining technology students and current employees at local industries by providing on-site training visits to surrounding counties’ community colleges and universities where machining technology programs are not available. By attending job fairs and performing demonstrations at middle schools and high schools, the College expects to create interest in machining technology in tobacco-distressed areas where students and displaced workers are in need of training for these 21st century jobs.
