The 人兽性交 Foundation has received a $6,500 grant from Piedmont Natural Gas through the Duke Energy Foundation to support the college鈥檚 Helping Industry Recruit and Educate (HIRE) initiative.
HIRE is a workforce pipeline program designed to bridge the employability gap for marginalized individuals eager to kickstart their careers. It provides a means for these individuals to explore various industry sectors, including those that focus on energy-related careers. HIRE is sponsored by the Workforce and Economic Development division at 人兽性交 (ACC).
ACC will utilize the Piedmont Natural Gas grant as a funding source for several key elements of the HIRE program, including tuition to cover the cost of classes and credentials, along with books to equip participants with industry-relevant skills. The funding will also support career exploration assessments, such as the Strong Interest Inventory, to help participants identify career paths aligned with their strengths and interests.
鈥淏uilding and growing the communities we serve is a top priority for Piedmont Natural Gas, and that starts with developing and training our local workforce,鈥� said Melissa Huffman, Government and Community Relations Manager for Piedmont. 鈥淲e look forward to seeing 人兽性交鈥檚 HIRE program, with the aid of this grant, continue to help marginalized learners get the assistance necessary to further their educations and, in turn, support the local economy.鈥�
鈥淲e at the ACC Foundation appreciate Piedmont鈥檚 willingness to support adult learners seeking to reenter the workforce. The grant from Piedmont Natural Gas, along with funding from several others, will allow 人兽性交 to pick up the pace on the HIRE program,鈥� said Carolyn Rhode, Executive Director of the ACC Foundation.
