Governor Impressed By NECA-IBEW Training Model, Praises Its Ability To Power His State - On The Energy Front And Through Job-Preparedness

摘要

"It's really about our future, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said after touring the Detroit Electrical Industry Training Center (EITC). He came to the facility in preparation for a speech on the energy outlook in his state after "hearing about the wonderful things being done here to prepare a great group of people to deal with energy efficiency, the smart grid and smart buildings, and a whole host of other things we need in order to make Michigan stronger." Sponsored by a partnership that proudly promotes itself as "Powering Michigan's Future," the facility did not fail to impress him in this regard. But the governor's visit was also motivated by another cause - his ongoing efforts to expand the skilled trades in his state. "It was really exciting to see the impressive work going on at the EITC and the opportunities it provides," he said.
