Brownfields Job Training Program Recognized for Nation's Highest Placement Rate
The St. Louis Brownfields Job Training Program March 23 graduates are pictured with program administrators Chris King, SLU (left) and Tim Boul, STLCC (right) holding the local program's recent award from the EPA Region 7.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 presented an Outstanding Leadership Award in Brownfields Job Training Placement in recognition for achieving the highest placement rate nationally to the St. Louis based program which is administered by St. Louis Community College's Workforce Solutions Group in partnership with Saint Louis University's Center for Environmental Education and Training.
"With the certifications and licenses obtained in this program, my resume should stand out among others, not to mention the training that an employer will not have to provide me," said Abraham Smith, who graduated from the program on March 23.
"While attending this program, I encountered several people enrolled in various classes who had been sent by their employers to obtain additional training," said Bradley Lohrum, who also graduated on March 23. "It is obvious that these skills are in demand, and by having them at the start, I will have an advantage over less skilled workers."
Contact Tim Boul or at 314-539-5743 to learn more. Read article |
