The North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton is getting a $265,000 state Workforce Enhancement Grant.
Gov. John Hoeven says the money will help launch the Automotive Diagnostic Certification Center at the school in partnership with the Snap-On Industrial tool company.
College President John Richman says the school is working to create relationships with private-sector partners to help fulfill the needs of business and industry.
Science already has partnerships with other companies, including John Deere, Caterpillar, Butler Machinery and Haas Automation.
