Alternative Fuel Vehicle Educational Training Program

Started in late 1992, the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) addresses the urgent need for training and support of alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) technicians in the field. The audience for the program includes vo-tech instructors, four-year college and community college faculty, fleet managers and technicians, instructors, government agency personnel, military support personnel, utility technicians, and anyone involved in alternative fuel vehicle development. JMU is currently involved in the application process to become the first NAFTC affiliate in Virginia . Support for this program would provide funding for membership dues, registration fees, and travels costs associated with participation in NAFTC conferences and training courses. Support for this project is approximately $2,000.
