The purpose of this grant is to assist Beaufort County Community College (BCCC) in increasing the number of skilled fabricators available to area industries with the addition of sophisticated, computerized equipment in the BCCC non-ferrous fabrication lab, currently the only non-ferrous fabrication lab in North Carolina. A complete fabrication lab will allow BCCC to provide training to an estimated 200 currently employed workers that need fabrication skills training and facilitate the creation of 60 new jobs at nearby industries.
