By Bob Peters, ChooseCornwall.ca – Job seekers can jump start a career in manufacturing with a new course offering from St. Lawrence College.
St. Lawrence College is presenting an eight week, Manufacturing Operator Program to help people prepare for employment in the manufacturing sector.
“The objective of the program is to provide people with real-world skills and experience that will lead to permanent employment,” says Glenna Schaillee, Manager, Community Outreach and Corporate Learning with St. Lawrence College. “There are a number of manufacturers and supply chain companies currently looking to fill new open positions.”
The program runs April 1 to May 24 2019 at the Cornwall Campus of St. Lawrence College.

- Lockout/Tagout
