A-B Tech Receives Bridge to Career Grant from SECU

A-B Tech was awarded an $18,000 grant from the NC SECU Foundation’s Bridge to Career Program to help offset student costs for worker training programs.

A-B Tech and SECU associates with large check — L-R: A-B Tech Associate VP of Instruction Gene Loflin, who serves on the SECU Biltmore Branch Advisory Board; SECU SVP Kelly Pippinger-Clark; SECU’s Debbie LaBarbera; A-B Tech VP of Continuing Education and Workforce Development Deborah Wright; A-B Tech President John Gossett; and A-B Tech Career Navigator Catherine Redwine.

The SECU program was introduced in 2018 to help the state’s 58 community colleges remove financial barriers for students seeking to obtain state-regulated or industry-recognized credentials that can lead to sustainable wage careers within their local communities. The program provides $500 scholarships to eligible students to offset costs for career training programs such as barbering, clinical massage, truck driver training, and more.
