Ivy Tech/Purdue Smart Grid Workforce Training
TPMA recently began working with officials from Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue University on an important project with workforce and energy implications. Ivy Tech recently received a $4.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for smart grid workforce training programs to help prepare the next generation of workers in the utility and electrical manufacturing industries. The two institutions are developing the Crossroads Smart Grid Training Program (CSTP). It is estimated the funds will help train 1,500 students for the new smart grid programs.
