The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded Vermont Technical College (VTC) a $1,561,815 project grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program (CFDA 11.307) on August 9, 2022. The funding will support VTC's development of a COVID-19 response agriculture and food system transformation plan to increase capacity with three new positions. These positions will aid in meeting new market demands and provide necessary workforce development to spur innovation, fill job vacancies, and graduate the next generation of farmers and ag entrepreneurs in Randolph Center, Vermont. Completion of the project will help enhance recovery and resilience of Vermont's agricultural and food manufacturing ecosystem, broadening the regional industrial base and addressing workforce needs to serve as a catalyst for private investment and job creation.
