Good Jobs Start With Union Training

Skill training offered at the IUE-CWA Service Center in Dayton, Ohio, has gotten rave reviews from employers and workers who were able to find quality jobs after graduating from the program.

The program is funded by a $3.9 million Labor Department grant and provides training through the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council, the only nationally certified, industry-recognized program for front-line production workers.

The program offers instruction in the advanced manufacturing skills needed for a clean energy economy.

Ronald Caison of Tipp City, Ohio, said “I learned more in three weeks than people spending thousands of dollars do in months. My supervisor told me he had never seen anyone who had walked into the job being able to do everything like I did.”

Lee Gillis, featured in this ad in the Dayton Daily News, was the first graduate to be hired. He said that in a crowded interview room, when he showed his certificate to the interviewer “everything changed and they hired me.”
