Episode Details

The National Science Foundation is pouring $160 million into 36 counties across North and South Carolina to build a cutting-edge energy grid hub — the Grid Modernization Engine — designed to future-proof America’s power system while spurring economic growth. York Technical College, a founding partner, leads workforce development, targeting rural communities with low median incomes and limited opportunities. Over two years, the initiative will focus on five priority counties, launching training centers in local spaces to boost accessibility. York Tech will expand programs in manufacturing, cybersecurity, and energy-specific certifications — including Siemens credentials — to meet industry demand. The goal? Create a replicable blueprint for workforce readiness and grid innovation nationwide.
