PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Heavy metal is coming to Clackamas Community College.

Actually, more heavy metal will be part of their career technical education programs as part of a $100,000 grant from Metallica.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band awarded the grant to Clackamas Community College plus 9 others throughout the country as part of their Metallica Scholars Initiative through the All Within My Hands Foundation.

It’s part of an effort to help community colleges enhance their career and technical education programs, CCC said in a release.

CCC President Tim Cook, in a statement, said they’re proud to help students pursuing metals careers.

“For metals students, tuition is only half the battle. Our students, many of whom are low income, struggle to purchase the tools and textbooks needed for successful study, apprenticeship and employment in their chosen careers. I believe elevating the profile of career and technical education through Metallica Scholars could forge a path out of poverty for many in our community,” he said.

The Metallica Scholars will also get practice with making resumes, going through interviews, applying for jobs plus other help with transportation, books and supplies.

“All of us in the band feel fortunate that music has provided us the opportunity to be successful doing something we are passionate about,” said Metallica drummer and co-founder Lars Ulrich. “We want to share our success with others so that they can find a job where they can do the same.”

The other 9 recipients of the Metallica Scholars Initiative were colleges in North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, Idaho, Washington and Kansas.

And now, of course, here’s a Metallica song for you.
