Free Training Classes For Drilling Jobs Offered in Potter County

There's still time to sign up for free training classes to get the skills needed to secure a job in the natural gas industry. Potter County Education Council (PCEC) says a limited number of spaces remain for the clases which begin August 6th. Recent increases in the price of natural gas at the wellhead make it likely that energy companies who have postponed shale-gas drilling in the local area will be returning in the coming months and looking to fill jobs with local recruits - if they have the basic qualifications. There is no tuition, but participants are responsible for pre-admission clearances, physical examinations and drug testing. Registrations are still being taken through Pennsylvania CareerLink.
