the December 2006 newsletter. In order to sign up for any of the scheduled classes,

This link. We are
offering an extensive list of courses at our new Glenmont facility and it is our
hope that more members will take advantage of these training opportunities to upgrade
their skills and thereby increase their chances for employment. As more and more
of the job opportunities require specific certifications, it is crucial that you
participate in the upgrade program in order to broaden your skill base and qualify
yourself for these positions.
If you received your initial forklift truck training, please check the date on your
card, as it is a 3 year certificate and you may need to attend a refresher class
this year.
If you have any questions regarding the upcoming classes please contact Ed Millington
or
