Temporary University Program Manager III- Steps4Growth

Steps4Growth is a coalition of industry, labor, education, government, and community leaders who create and expand access to work-based education programs for people to earn money and academic credit while they explore, prepare for, and launch into careers. We believe all students in NC deserve a future of purpose and prosperity-and the support necessary to achieve it. That is why we build opportunities that launch every NC student into post-secondary pathways and careers in NC's clean-energy sectors and occupations. By weaving real-world work experiences into education, every student is supported by a comprehensive system of career connected learning and NC is a state where every student can learn, work, and thrive.
