JOB TRAINING

As part of its financial stability initiative, United Way of Olmsted County provides support for students to participate in a number of vocational training initiatives.

Working through its Job Training Collaborative Partnership, the United Way identifies areas of current or expected hiring in the community. United Way works with employers in these areas to develop a curriculum designed to provide a solid foundation for a career in that industry through training programs of no more than two months in duration.

Classes are typically held at Hawthorne Education Center and Rochester Technical and Community College. Interviews with interested employers are held immediately upon successful completion of the coursework.

Past programs have been held in soldering, building utilities maintenance, welding, and customer service.

Please check the sidebar to the left for a listing of upcoming training opportunities.

Congratulations to the latest welding training class on their January graduation!
