Johnson College’s Weatherization training classes are officially underway. As one of only six training providers in Pennsylvania, the College helps the state identify, train and certify workers to complete high-quality energy reduction, conservation and weatherization activities. This training is the first of its kind in Northeastern Pennsylvania and is made possible by funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). All of the College’s Weatherization training is held at Simplex Industries in Scranton.
The first group of participants completed training to become Certified Weatherization Installers on February 23, 2010. All twelve students attended the training on vouchers from the Departments of Labor & Industry (L&I) and Community & Economic Development (DCED). These individuals came to the training by way of Scranton/Lackawanna Human Development Authority (SLHDA), Luzerne County CareerLink in Wilkes Barre, and Lackawanna County CareerLink in Scranton.
The first class to become Certified Weatherization Installers (not pictured) consisted of: Joseph Bernavage, Scranton; Louis Borini, Old Forge; Greg Brunori, Uniondale; Joseph Lipinski, Jr., Scranton; Frank Marmo, Old Forge; Sean McCormick, Dalton; Thomas Miller, Scranton; Jason Murphy, Noxen; William Reider, Taylor; Russell Rozelle, Dickson City; Leon Viera, Clarks Summit; Jack Yencho, Blakely.
Weatherization training serves as an advantage for job applicants. Once students are certified Weatherization workers, they are able to work on state-funded Weatherization projects and at Weatherization Assistance Providers (WAPs), like SLHDA.
Prospective students can contact their nearest PA CareerLink® office for enrollment information. Visit www.pacareerlink.state.pa.us for details. Please note that new workers are required to complete a series of preliminary assessments to ensure that they have the skills necessary to attend training.
