In a second round of funding, the Energy Commission awarded a total of $1 million to six colleges that originally applied for the funding opportunity:

- Hartnell College
- Saddleback College
- Foothill-De Anza CCD

All 15 funded colleges have a demonstrated need for program and course enhancements in their regions. Over the next year, they will execute carefully-designed plans to train students, create curriculum, purchase equipment, and educate faculty on the latest industry technologies.
