Greenville-based Hubbell Lighting, one of the largest lighting manufacturers in North America,has pledged $25,000 to the Greenville Tech Foundation to establish a new advanced manufacturing and engineering-related endowed scholarship fund at the college.

The five-year commitment from Hubbell Lighting, which is conveniently located next door to the Greenville Technical College Gene Haas Center for Manufacturing Innovation at Millennium Park, will benefit students enrolled in programs within the college’s School of Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology including Mechatronics Technology and Computer Numerical Control Programming & Operations.

Greenville Tech and Hubbell are currently in discussions to develop an apprenticeship program and lighting-specific curriculum.

The Hubbell Lighting Scholarship Fund will help the company and the college develop a highly skilled workforce of graduates that have access to significant career opportunities. Students graduating from this program would immediately be ideal candidates to work with Hubbell Lighting as it produces indoor and outdoor lighting products for commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential markets. With the pace of innovation in the lighting industry continuing to accelerate, access to a talent pool of skilled labor is a big part of its business and critical to its success.
