Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
At the intersection of good jobs, clean energy, and equity, Steps4Growth is addressing growing regional demand and propelling North Carolina into a clean energy future. Led by North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (N.C. A&T), the largest historically Black college and university in the nation, the project will span 16 distressed counties in the state. These counties include ten Tier 1 counties that encompass "Black Belt" rural communities.
Employers in the coalition include, but are not limited to, Siemens Energy, Duke Energy, Blue Ridge Power, and Strata Clean Energy. With a focus on equity, the coalition will utilize mobile training units in these rural areas to remove barriers to access and meet workers where they are.
This coalition's efforts can be used as a replicable model for providing quality, demand-driven training for the growing clean energy sector across the U.S.
