Albertson, president of the college. “The turning centers we will purchase with these funds will help students become highly skilled machinists. This new equipment and supplies will translate into lucrative jobs and economic growth in Wayne County and the region.”
“Wayne Community College is committed to training a workforce equipped to meet today’s business needs,” said Duke Energy District Manager Millie Chalk. “We are pleased to expand our partnership with the college to develop a highly skilled workforce that will attract and retain businesses in the region for years to come.”
This grant is part of Duke Energy’s $30 million investment in North Carolina’s Community Colleges’ focus on technical education and support of business and industry. Individual community colleges can apply for funds through the NC Community Foundation. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of representatives from Duke Energy, NC Community College System and NC Department of Commerce.
