National Energy Technology Training and Education Facility

Senator Dorgan has earmarked $1.2 million since FY03 to help develop Bismarck State College’s nationally recognized energy training program. In addition, Dorgan is working on federal funding to help construct a $14.5 million National Energy Technology Training and Education Facility on the campus of Bismarck State College. This world-class facility will house a Workforce Training Center and Higher Education Center creating a learning atmosphere that combines energy education with environmental education while advancing the use of coal combustion products. Working in partnership with industry to deal with the approaching shortage of multi-skilled technicians, Bismarck State College has put in place the education and training necessary to prepare a workforce for reliable and safe generation transmission and distribution of electric power. These energy programs have become nationally recognized with graduates working in 47 states.
