Bismarck State College has received a grant from the North Dakota Department of Commerce to help agriculture technology programs. The $50,000 workforce enhancement grant will be used to purchase precision agriculture equipment and provide faculty training.

"The workforce enhancement grants help increase the capacity of our higher education institutions like BSC to provide a consistent stream of qualified workers educated right here in North Dakota," Department of Commerce Commissioner Al Anderson said. "The partnership of industry, education, and state and local governments is needed to meet the developing workforce needs of North Dakota."

The workforce enhancement grants are used to help two-year colleges create or enhance training programs that address workforce needs in North Dakota.
