Exciting News #MyBRCC Community!!!
The @lowesfoundation awarded $850,000 to BRCC as a part of today’s select group of community and technical colleges receiving #GableGrants. Since awarding its first grants one year ago, the foundation has expanded skilled trades career pathways through its growing network of 35 community colleges and nonprofits in rural and urban communities across 27 states.
The Gable Grants Program will significantly enhance BRCC’s technical programs by establishing a new plumbing training program and creating a state-of-the-art Construction Trades Outdoor Learning Lab. This facility will simulate real-world construction scenarios, allowing students to deepen their understanding of theoretical concepts while honing practical skills. By establishing this innovative learning lab, BRCC aims to enhance education, foster innovation, and empower the next generation of skilled trades workers.
