BRISTOL Bucks County Community College is offering a
metalwork manufacturing training program for unemployed or underemployed county
residents beginning in January.
The training is free, but students must meet criteria to
qualify. An information session is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 in
the Student Commons of the Lower Bucks Campus, 1304 Veterans Highway, Bristol.
Representatives of companies looking to hire workers are
set to attend to answer questions, and will help select candidates for the
program. This is the second time the college's Center for Workforce Development
has offered the metalwork manufacturing training program.
Requirements include: must be a Bucks County resident,
and a U.S. citizen or possess a green card; must be at least 18; must have a
high school diploma or GED; must pass drug and alcohol screening, background
check, and a physical test; and must have reliable transportation to commute to
training and a variety of industry field trips.
The program is funded through a federal Community
Development Block Grant distributed by the Bucks County commissioners.
The 12-week training program begins Jan. 12 and consists
of four days a week in class, and one day a week off-site for manufacturing
facility tours and field trips. Classes are held at the college's Advanced
Manufacturing Training Center, 310 George Patterson Blvd., Bristol.
