A report in the Metro News, West Virginia, US has led me to check out the chemical process operator-training program that has been created by a consortium of chemical companies, known as the Chemical Alliance Zone.
It is offered in partnership between the West Virginia Manufacturers Association Chemical Industry Committee and a number of community and technical colleges.
The aim is to find a number of new workers in Kanawha Valley, West Virginia, to replace the high number of workers that are currently retiring or due for retirement. The program highlights that jobs are widely available for qualified applicants and offers a "lucrative salary and benefit packages" with major employers within the region's chemical industry.
In addition, the site offers access to the West Virginia Manufacturers Association’s job database. Local industry supporters of the scheme include Dow, DuPont, Bayer CropScience and Bayer MaterialScience amongst others.
Open days in 2009 are planned for 30 June, 30 July and 11 August.
