LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — Building on the popularity and success of construction, auto repair, security guard and welding courses offered in the last two years, Sullivan County’s Center for Workforce Development (CWD) and Sullivan BOCES have teamed up again to offer a free course in the electrical trade to up to 15 local residents.
“I thank the legislature for devoting funding to our fifth initiative to provide local workers with practical, career-building skills,” said CWD Director Loreen Gebelein. “Graduates of this program will learn the skills necessary to be immediately employable in jobs involving electrical equipment and installation.”
The 10-week program wil be administered by the CWD, part of the Division of Community Resources. Open to Sullivan County residents who are 18 or older, possess a high school diploma/GED and have reliable transportation, classes start March 25 and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at SUNY Sullivan in Loch Sheldrake. (Note that a background check and fingerprinting are required, with that cost to be borne by the participant.)
“This is hands-on training at our local college, and graduates of this program will be ready to work in an in-demand field,” said Community Resources Commissioner Laura Quigley. “I encourage anyone interested to contact us right away, as only 15 spots are available for this course.”
For more information or to apply, contact the Center for Workforce Development at 845/794-3340, ext. 0620.
