The project, in cooperation with Mississippi's State Board for Community and Junior Colleges and the region's electrical power generation and distribution industry, is developing an electrical distribution technician training system in order to address the need for energy industry technicians. The project team is creating specialized technology training that encompasses the academic material and physical skills required for technicians within the energy sector and can lead to an Associate of Applied Science Degree. These efforts include the development and refinement of curricula, exploration of pathways into advanced training, development of instructors in new technologies for the energy sector, and development of an outdoor physical skills laboratory designed to simulate the actual energy transmission environment. The implementation involves a series of modular training blocks or classes, with each module leading to an industry recognized credential. These are being built into a full AAS degree program and offered to those seeking minimum skills needed to enter employment. The project team also is establishing an outdoor training facility at the Pearl River Community College's Advanced Technology Center that is providing practical training with real electrical distribution poles and towers, substations, underground utilities, and other training areas that simulate actual electrical distribution networks. The evaluation effort, under the direction of an experienced external evaluator, is looking at student enrollment, retention, achievement, internships, and placement. The investigators are disseminating their materials and results through website postings and presentations at local and regional conferences. Broader impacts include the dissemination of their materials and outreach and dual enrollment programs with area high schools.

该项目与密西西比州社区和初级学院委员会以及该地区的发电和配电行业合作，正在开发一个配电技术员培训系统，以满足能源行业技术员的需求。该项目小组正在创建专门的技术培训，其中包括能源部门技术人员所需的学术材料和身体技能，并可以导致应用科学学位的副学士学位。这些努力包括制定和完善课程，探索进入高级培训的途径，为能源部门培养新技术教员，以及建立一个旨在模拟实际能源传输环境的户外体能实验室。该实施涉及一系列模块化培训模块或课程，每个模块都可以获得行业认可的证书。 这些正在被纳入一个完整的AAS学位课程，并提供给那些寻求进入就业所需的最低技能。 项目团队还在珠江社区学院的先进技术中心建立了一个户外培训设施，提供真实的配电杆和塔、变电站、地下设施和其他模拟实际配电网络的培训区域的实践培训。在经验丰富的外部评估员的指导下，评估工作正在关注学生入学，保留，成就，实习和安置。 调查员正在通过网站张贴和在地方和区域会议上介绍来传播他们的材料和结果。 更广泛的影响包括传播他们的材料和推广和双招生计划与地区高中。
