Central Carolina Community College's Natural Chef Culinary Arts program students Nikko Turner, Jaquelyn Carey, and Frankie Hayes learn to cook using organic and locally available products. This program on the college's Chatham County Campus and the Sustainable Agriculture program at the college's West Harnett Center are sharing a $25,000 grant from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund. The grant was received through the Project Skill-UP program of the N.C. Community College System's Continuing Education Division. Skill-UP grants primarily support workforce training and retraining programs for individuals who have lost tobacco industry-related jobs. The NCTTF helped make these two college programs possible with a $70,000 Skill-UP grant in 2010.
