On Thursday, September 23, Duke Energy officially donated the Chester Workforce and Learning Success Center facility to the York Technical College Foundation. The Center provides career assessment and work skills training for those that are unemployed as well as adult education students, high school students, and current York Tech students. Duke Energy has supported many of the College’s programs and initiatives over the years and has provided more than $1.3 million to the College to foster economic development and workforce training. Through their support, we have developed curricula and labs for mechatronics, welding, robotics, the chemical operator training program, and much, much more. This latest donation of the Saluda Street facility in Chester is a testament of their support of the College, and we are very grateful for their partnership.Pictured left to right is Chairman Tony Vaughan, myself, Catherine Heigel (President of Duke Energy Carolinas), and Representative Greg Delleney.
