GEISMAR, La. -- Chemical-maker BASF has donated $100,000 to support construction of an advanced technology center on the new Burnside campus of River Parishes Community College.
BASF and college officials say they will work together to design the facility and develop training programs for chemical plant jobs.
The company says it also plans to give the college surplus equipment to allow instructors to simulate chemical plant operations and create more realistic training scenarios for students.
Chancellor Dale Doty says the center will help Ascension Parish meet a growing demand for skilled workers.
