NJX Gets DOL Grant

NJC is getting a $1.3 million dollar grant, from the U.S. Department of Labor. The money is part of the Department's 125 million dollars in Community-Based Job Training grants to 41 community colleges across the country. This was the Department's only grant awarded in Colorado. It puts Northeastern in a lead position for high quality wind energy technology training. The college began offering this training a year ago with only 20 students studying for the state-approved two-year degree program. With wind energy companies like Vestas bringing 2 thousand jobs to the state, there's a need to train a lot of people fast.
