RCHA has announced that its First Step Heavy Equipment Training (FSHET) program will resume this spring.
The five-week FSHET training program, funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, is designed as a screening tool for potential employers and involves working with participants to ensure they have the skills and qualifications to be effective heavy equipment operators. Participants gain experience working on a heavy equipment simulator and may have the opportunity to become certified on at least two pieces of equipment.
For more information about the FHSET program, contact Calvin Elmore at 304-636-6495, Ext. 160, or celmore@rchawv.org.
RCHA serves the six-county region of Randolph, Barbour, Tucker, Lewis, Upshur and Pendleton counties. Its mission is to build strong communities by investing in housing solutions, youth and workforce development and supportive services to improve the quality of life of individuals and families living in the West Virginia Highlands.
