The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Appalachian Area Development program (CFDA 23.002) to the Bedford County Technical Center in Pennsylvania. The funding will support the center's provision of career and technical education services in fields such as agriscience, automotive technology, culinary arts, and welding. As a sub-grantee, Bedford County Technical Center has also participated in previous federal grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Department of Health to provide job training, recruit school health personnel, and develop students' academic and career skills. The ARC's Appalachian Area Development program aims to strengthen regional economies by investing in critical infrastructure, workforce training, and community capacity building across the 13-state Appalachian region.
