Several weeks ago, hearing of severe skilled worker shortages to meet a growing local demand, the Chamber’s Education Committee convened a problem-solving group with Lane Community College, Lane Workforce Partnership, and companies from manufacturing and construction. The outcome is very exciting. Three summer programs have been approved by LCC administration and are accepting student enrollment now: Trade Skills Fundamentals, Fabrication & Welding Technology courses, and CNC and Manufacturing Basics courses.

Anyone is welcome to enroll. All courses are available for local high school students, tuition-free. One $450 scholarship to cover the remaining enrollment and book fees has been provided by Johnson Crushers International (JCI) for a Springfield student enrolling in the Trade Skills Fundamental (TSF) course this summer.
