THE Commonwealth Utilities Corp. board is exploring the possibility of offering incentives to local residents if they train at the Northern Marianas Trades Institute for power plant jobs.
This is in preparation for the end of the federal CW program for foreign workers in 2019, CUC board chairwoman Adelina Roberto said.
The board asked CUC’s human resources office to formulate an incentive program so interested locals can avail themselves of the training courses offered at NMTI.
On Monday, NMTI trade director Rip Stephanson discussed with the CUC board the core requirements for the power generation maintenance mechanic and power plant welder training programs.
He said the curriculum will include a homeland security awareness course that focuses on protecting critical infrastructure against possible threats and implementing critical infrastructure security and resilience.
It will cost $675 per student to enroll in the basic course that will involve classes of two hours and a half every day for two months for a total of 145 hours, Stephanson said, adding that eligible students will be provided grants to pay for tuition. For the full article click here
