North Carolina is receiving over $1.6 million to create career pathways in electric vehicle, or EV manufacturing.
Governor Roy Cooper announced this week that the state was selected as a partner in a Siemens Foundation initiative called EVeryone Charging Forward.
Over $1.6 million has been awarded to the North Carolina Business Committee for Education (NCBCE), which will in turn promote the training and education needs of the EV charging sector.
NCBCE will partner with the state’s community college system to aid in designing a training program and developing apprenticeship programs.
The organization will also partner with the Department of Public Instruction and local school districts to align their training programs.
Stipends will be made available for transportation, child care, and other needs.
