PLAINFIELD, Ind. – The Duke Energy Foundation recently awarded about $280,000 in grants to 11 workforce development and education programs in Indiana to help create a pipeline of workers prepared for employment.
“I hear consistently from Indiana businesses that well-trained workers are one of their greatest needs,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar. “Many of the jobs don’t require a college degree but instead need skilled workers with specialized training. These grants support that demand.”
The Columbus Area Chamber Foundation was awarded one of the grants, receiving $15,000 from Duke Energy. It will go toward supporting entrepreneurship and innovation-driven businesses.
