Central Community College has been invited to return for a third consecutive year with the All Within My Hands’ (AWMH) Metallica Scholars Initiative. CCC will continue to receive funding to enhance career and technical education programs.
Now in its fifth year, the Metallica Scholars Initiative is currently supporting 42 community colleges across 33 states. By the end of this year, it will have helped over 6,000 students pursuing careers in the trades. To date, Metallica and AWMH have invested over $6 million in the American workforce.
CCC is one of 31 returning Metallica Initiative institutions, which have been joined by 11 newly selected schools.
“It is encouraging to know of a national foundation and band, like AWMH and Metallica, supporting such essential careers like law enforcement and criminal justice during times of great regional and national need,” said CCC President Dr. Matt Gotschall.
In the first two years of being a Metallica Scholars Initiative institution, CCC gave out 100 scholarships to criminal justice students.
The Metallica Scholars Initiative was launched in 2019 in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).
