Future Generations
This is good news. For years, the oil and gas industry has been concerned about finding and training skilled workers for the future. From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "With Penn State University researchers projecting that the Marcellus Shale natural gas industry will create or support about 88,000 jobs in Pennsylvania by the end of this year, it's no surprise a number of vocational schools, technical colleges and universities across the state are trying to get workers ready for at least some of those jobs." More: "In all, 400 students have been trained at Penn College for work in the industry through other noncertificate programs such as a commercial driver's license course, a welding program and a safety program for natural gas and oil."
Nice.
