$201,496.00

Program Area:

Community-Based Grants Initiative

County of Applicant:

Robeson

Year:

2020

Description:

This grant provides funding to Robeson Community College to help meet the local need for workers trained in HVAC/Refrigeration. Today’s complex HVAC/R systems and their components require skilled technicians who can adapt to changing, energy-saving and “green” HVAC/R technologies. The college’s training lab requires upgraded equipment to better align with modern machinery. Expected outcomes for the project include increases in enrollment and in the number of students earning third-party certifications. Scholarship funds provided by Piedmont Natural Gas will target students in these high-demand fields, helping to drive increased HVAC program enrollment. Golden LEAF funds will be used for HVAC/R training equipment.
