Linn-Benton Programs Pair Alternative Fuel Training With Jobs

摘要

Oregon's Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC) has just completed another phase of its Advanced Transportation Technology Center (ATTC), which hosts programs that train technicians to install, maintain, and repair vehicles fueled by alternative energies such as propane. Nearly 300 people attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony in October marking the completion of the center's second phase and the opening of the Innovation Center and Heavy Transportation building, a 37,000-sq-ft space that will be used to train technicians to work on heavy equipment. Among the guests were U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, Oregon lawmakers who have been strong supporters of Linn-Benton Community College's alternative fuel training efforts.
