The North Carolina Department of Commerce has just announced the availability of grant funds (application deadline June 15) that will support professional development for local government professionals. The UNC-Chapel Hill School of Government is one of three universities partnering on this project, and the School has designed a Commerce Fellows training package that is composed of sought-after courses that address the breadth and depth of issues related to community and economic development. The North Carolina Department of Commerce Commerce Fellows/Building Community through Capacity and Knowledge Grant will fund tuition and lodging for eight seats in five in-person School of Government courses as well as four online training series. A detailed description of the School of Government’s training package can be found here.
