In order to meet the demand for highly educated technicians in the modern construction industry, Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) will expand the curricula of their Sustainability Technologies and Building Construction Technologies programs. Today's construction industry is a high tech landscape that plays a significant role in human health, resource management, and energy consumption. Modern buildings contain complex systems that require skilled technicians to properly design, install, and verify using technical skills along with scientific and mathematical theory and knowledge. This trend in the construction industry has led to industry demand for individuals with enhanced education and credentials to ensure buildings meet performance criteria. Informed by their industrial partners, CCCC will provide internships and field experiences that prepare students to earn relevant third party credentials that prepare them for the workforce. This project will directly benefit three groups; students, CCCC, and local industry. For student technicians, they will receive (1) a value added educational experience with both institutional and third party credentialing, (2) multiple avenues for success through educational pathways and stackable credentialing, and (3) increased field experience. CCCC will (1) update curricula to better educate students interested in energy analysis and performance verification, (2) strengthen connections between the college and local industry, and (3) address technical education needs of underrepresented populations in the college's service area. The benefit of this approach to industry will be (1) the increased pool of well-trained new employees, and (2) the increased ease of hiring new employees with college credit training and industry specific, nationally recognized credentials.

为了满足现代建筑行业对受过高等教育的技术人员的需求，中央卡罗莱纳社区学院（CCCC）将扩大其可持续发展技术和建筑施工技术课程。当今的建筑业是一个高科技领域，在人类健康、资源管理和能源消耗方面发挥着重要作用。现代建筑物包含复杂的系统，需要熟练的技术人员使用技术技能沿着科学和数学理论和知识来正确设计、安装和验证。建筑行业的这一趋势导致行业对具有更高教育和证书的个人的需求，以确保建筑物符合性能标准。在行业合作伙伴的指导下，CCCC将提供实习和实地经验，帮助学生获得相关的第三方证书，为他们进入劳动力市场做好准备。该项目将直接惠及三个群体：学生，CCCC和当地产业。 对于学生技术人员，他们将获得（1）机构和第三方认证的增值教育经验，（2）通过教育途径和可堆叠认证的多种成功途径，以及（3）增加现场经验。 CCCC将（1）更新课程，以更好地教育对能源分析和性能验证感兴趣的学生，（2）加强学院与当地行业之间的联系，（3）解决学院服务领域代表性不足的人口的技术教育需求。这种方法对行业的好处是：（1）增加训练有素的新员工的数量，（2）更容易雇用受过大学信贷培训和行业特定的国家认可的证书的新员工。
