Nash Community College\u2019s most prestigious award, the President\u2019s Cup, was awarded in 2016 to\u00a0Duke Energy in appreciation of their collaborative support of the Electric Line Construction program,
\nAdvanced Manufacturing and Biology. Each year, the President\u2019s Cup can be awarded to anyone affiliated with Nash Community College programs who has made an indelible mark on the college.
\n\u201cDuke Energy\u2019s support and industry partnership with Nash Community College assisted in providing\u00a0training to students in a highly skilled profession,\u201d NCC President Dr. Bill Carver said.<\/p>\n

Duke Energy generously provided funds for Nash Community College scholarships ensuring students\u00a0have access to an affordable education. Additionally, Duke Energy\u2019s support of instructional needs
\nin advanced manufacturing with funding for NCC\u2019s Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Electrical\u00a0Discharge Machining (EDM) and WaterJet training, and development of the NCC Robotics Training
\nLab have been critical to the college\u2019s efforts to continue as a leader in training for high tech, high demand careers. The company\u2019s investment in NCC through the Duke Energy Water Resources Fund
\ngrant has extended biological research creating the Water Quality Institute on the community college\u00a0campus to improve water quality and conservation in the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico river basins through
\nscholarship, outreach, education and workforce training.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuke Energy continues to fill the gap in funding enabling the college to address workforce needs in\u00a0our local community by providing the necessary equipment and instruction on campus,\u201d Carver said.
\nIn 1999, the company\u2019s efforts assisted in establishing a two-year Electric Lineman Technology associate degree program giving their employees a place to receive training. With nearly fifty percent of the
\nindustry\u2019s line technicians nearing retirement, their partnership supported the college in training the\u00a0future workforce to serve the local community and beyond.\u00a0The college is extremely grateful to Duke Energy for their commitment in education and partnership in training tomorrow\u2019s workforce for success in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
