Our JATC has been hosting the “Green Specialist Training” this summer.  This training series of 6 eight hour courses is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Train-the-Trainer portion is being taught by two Purdue University instructors.

 

Upon successful completion of all six classes participants will be eligible to take a certification test given by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.  (More information in the class).
