WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded $1.5 million to North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) Foundation.
“By investing in North Dakota’s education system, these CARES Act funds will help create more economic opportunities in the state, both now and in the future,” said Senator Cramer. “Building a Career Workforce Academy in Fargo will strengthen and broaden the potential of our state’s workers. I am glad this project has secured more assistance to help it advance toward completion.”
The funds come through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and will be used to build a Career Workforce Academy in Fargo which is expected to create over 100 jobs. The academy will provide high school students, traditional college students, and adult learners the opportunity to gain skills in agriculture, manufacturing and engineering, health care and allied sciences, architecture and construction, and information technology.
