Project Green Schools (PGS) announced its involvement in what it said is a groundbreaking new initiative aimed at advancing clean energy education and career training at Brockton High School. Supported by a $900,000 grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the initiative will advance electric vehicle education as part of the school’s new Clean Automotive Technology Center of Excellence, a collaborative program between Brockton High School, Project Green Schools, ACDC, DeVivo Companies, and others, according to a news release about the collaboration.

The Clean Automotive Technology Center of Excellence (CATCE) will serve as an educational hub, offering students hands-on learning in cutting-edge electric bus technologies and sustainable transportation. The program will include mentorship opportunities, industry partnerships and projects that directly engage students with real-world applications.

“Project Green Schools is thrilled to be part of this collaborative effort to drive the future of clean transportation,” said Robin Sidman, executive director of Project Green Schools.

As schools and communities shift toward greener solutions, this program will provide students with the skills and knowledge to become leaders in the clean automotive industry, focusing on electric buses, which are vital to reducing emissions in school transportation, said PGS.
