Legendary rock band, Metallica, is helping local students of all ages in career education. Lone Star College is the recipient of a $100,000 grant from the band's All Within my Hands Foundation. Career education at LSC that will benefit include Health Care, Transportation, Oil and Gas Production and Mechatronics. Many students have difficulty in paying for "wraparound services." That's where the money goes that's not tuition and books. Day Care and Work Apparel are a couple of examples.
Areas of employment-related education include: Certified Nurse Aid; Floorhand/Roustabout; Manufacturing and Field Services; Professional Truck Driver;
The foundation gave grants to a total of 10 community colleges.
