HFCC Offers Free Training On Employment In Defense Sector

Henry Ford Community College's Michigan Technical Education Center Division will offer free training for unemployed, underemployed, dislocated workers and veterans for the anticipated growth of defense sector employment in southeast Michigan.

This training is made possible through funding from the U.S. Department of Labor, Macomb Community College and HFCC, along with other colleges in the southeast Michigan region. The training will provide technical and non-technical training programs to better position eligible individuals for jobs in the growing defense sector.  Although colleges cannot guarantee employment, colleges will work diligently with defense sector employers for placement.

Tricia Llewellyn, director of the HFCC M-TEC, said this program is yet another way to help those seeking new positions in a growing field.

"This program will give participants a chance to develop new skills and learn important information they will need to obtain better paying careers," she explained, adding that through this concerted collaboration with colleges, "we can have a direct impact on the employability of our community residents to help them work toward better paying careers."

To learn more about this unique opportunity, please attend the following information session on Tuesday, Jun3 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the HFCC M-TEC Building Auditorium,
3601 Schaefer Road in Dearborn.

Space is limited; please register by Friday, June 3 via e-mail to mtec@hfcc.edu or call (313) 617-6600. HFCC will collect names and phone numbers for registration purposes.
