\"\"<\/a>Nash Community College\u2019s most prestigious award, the President\u2019s Cup, was awarded in April to Progress Energy in appreciation of their collaboration and support of the Electric Line Construction program. Each year, the President\u2019s Cup can be awarded to anyone affiliated with Nash Community College who has made an indelible mark on the College.<\/p>\n

“Progress Energy’s support and industry partnership with Nash Community College assisted in providing training to students in a highly skilled profession,” NCC President Dr. Bill Carver said.<\/p>\n

In 1999, Progress Energy’s efforts assisted in establishing a two-year Electric Lineman Technology\u00a0associate degree program giving their employees a place to receive training. With nearly fifty percent of the industry\u2019s line technicians nearing retirement, their partnership supported the College in training the future workforce to serve the local community and beyond.<\/p>\n

Progress Energy generously provided funds for Nash Community College scholarships ensuring students have access to an affordable education. Their investment also provided for instructional items and training equipment. NCC Electric Line Construction graduate, Ryan Taylor, who completed the lineman academy program in the fall of 2010, said \u201cI believe taking this course helped me acquire this job as I have been told that approximately 120 applicants applied.\u201d<\/p>\n

The College is extremely grateful to Progress Energy for their commitment in education and partnership in training tomorrow\u2019s workforce for success in life.<\/p>\n
