Duke Energy Donates $25,000 to Tri-County Technical College’s Foundation

GREENVILLE, SC – Duke Energy made a $25,000 check presentation to Tri-County Technical College’s Foundation to fund curriculum development, targeted marketing and recruitment of students for a series of free courses the College will offer to a segment of the SC population (ages 25-44) that is unemployed, underemployed and underserved.

This course will teach participants who have a high school diploma, but have not earned a college degree, how to succeed by preparing for specific STEM careers. Students will learn about regional STEM-related job opportunities, how to formulate personal career goals, assess their STEM career-readiness, and how to access educational programs to achieve career goals.
