CWA/NETT Administrator Honored for Effective Training Program in Ohio

Kevin Celata, administrator of CWA's successful CWA/NETT program was presented the Southwest Ohio Region Workforce Investment Board's top award last week for his leadership in helping to provide quality training for workers that resulted in good-paying jobs.

Over the past two years, CWA/NETT, with a $4 million grant from the Department of Labor, has trained more than 1,500 workers in Ohio who were hit hard by the economic downturn; many found good-paying jobs because of the specialized skill manufacturing training. Members of IUE-CWA, the Steelworkers, Food and Commercial Workers, and other unions were among those in the training program.

The award presented to Celata names the Communications Workers of America as a "super partner" in the effort to provide workers with the skills they need for job placement throughout the state.
