This award provided funding to Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) to support the expansion of its short-term construction training programs. GTCC will focus attention on increasing enrollment in HVAC/Refrigeration, construction skills, and electrical programs. Property management companies have expressed the dire need to hire skilled apartment maintenance workers to maintain apartments, shopping centers, and mixed-use commercial buildings in the area. Currently, GTCC does not have sufficient instructors to teach construction courses to train more students. With grant funds, GTCC will increase teaching capacity resulting in an increase of 45 students completing continuing education courses and an additional 30 students receiving third-party credentials by the end of the first year. In addition, this project will leverage other funds to offer a 10-week Construction Bootcamp that will increase the number of students participating in work-based learning. Golden LEAF funds will be used for full-time instructors, equipment, and supplies.
Any project more than a couple of years old may not reflect current Board priorities.
