LEXINGTON, Ky. — Bluegrass Community and Technical College has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Truist Foundation to support “New Roots, New Careers: Empowering Resettled Families,” an initiative focused on career advancement for immigrant families in the region.
The grant aligns with the Truist Foundation’s focus on building career pathways to economic mobility, particularly for unemployed or underemployed adults seeking middle-skill careers that do not require a four-year college degree. The foundation specifically targets programs that help job seekers access career coaching and wraparound services while developing career pipeline programs in regional workforce systems.
BCTC, which serves more than 18,000 students each year across seven campuses in Central Kentucky, has established a track record of supporting immigrant and multilingual learners. The college’s Global Learning initiative focuses on serving immigrant, international, and emerging multilingual students through educational and support services.
The college’s commitment to workforce development extends beyond immigrants. Earlier this year, BCTC received a $1.14 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education to expand workforce credential pathways in healthcare and public safety fields, making it the only Kentucky recipient in that competitive funding round.
The “New Roots, New Careers” initiative represents BCTC’s continued effort to expand economic opportunities for underrepresented populations in the Bluegrass region, combining career training with support services tailored to the unique needs of resettled immigrant families.
