UMWA Career Centers in Action Heavy Equipment and New Miner Training Programs helping coalfield families, communities

摘要

It looks like just another job-site as you drive by--yellow dozers and graders at work, moving earth. Then you notice something: This isn't just any old earth they're moving, it's a slate dump. And then you see the sign: "UMWA Career Centers Heavy Equipment Training." Drive onto the property just outside Marianna, Pa., and you'll experience an entirely new concept in heavy equipment training, one that is preparing laid-off UMWA members and others from the coalfields for a career that could change their lives, and the lives of their families. They're doing something lasting, and good for their community as well.
