LCCC receives $900,000 grant
By Business Report Staff


CHEYENNE — Last week, Laramie County Community College announced that it will receive a $900,000 grant from the National Science Foundation in support of renewable energy education.

The grant will bring a diverse group of academic, government and industry representatives together to develop core competencies in renewable energy fields.

Those core competencies will be used by LCCC and other colleges and universities to refine the programs of study that are supporting this industry’s rapid expansion — the LCCC program will serve as a national renewable energy education model.

The grant also will be used to design career pathways to help traditional and nontraditional students chart their courses to successful employment in the renewable energy industries.

At LCCC, the grant will be used to explore additional programs in renewable and alternative technologies to augment LCCC's existing Integrated Systems Technology and Wind Energy programs.
 
LCCC Grants Facilitator Mimi Hull indicated that LCCC’s dedication to wind energy education and its reputation with the NSF was a huge factor in obtaining this grant.
