Grant received from the Dell E. Webb Foundation last week
The Coconino Community College’s construction technology management program received a $1 million grant last week from the Dell E. Webb Foundation. The funds will be used to renovate the current Construction Technology Management facility at its Flagstaff Campus. It will also be used to expand existing CTM classes and in-demand programs such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and refrigeration or HVACR technology.
The ultimate goal is to increase the number of degree and certification earners in the construction trades from an average of 30 students 294 students over a three-year period. This is in response to growing demand in the industry, according to the Department of Labor statistics, and a growing number of northern Arizona contractors who cite shortages in the local skilled workforce.
