Production Employees Seize Professional Development Opportunity

Through the Strengthening Working Families Initiative (SWFI), two Fab-Tech employees have registered to take Certified Production Technician courses at CCV in Winooski. The 9-month CPT training program is a "nationally recognized credential" that affords both professional development and increased earnings potential.

According to sources familiar with the program, "nearly 400 Vermonters have participated in CPT trainings, with over 950 certifications earned." [1]

The two Fab-Tech Production Technicians who will be pursuing this CPT opportunity include:

Trevor Conn - Lead, Fabrication/Round Area

Jude Desmond - Coater/Blaster

The Strengthening Working Families Initiative (SWFI) is a U.S. Department of Labor grant that provides no-cost training and support services to eligible parents who work in the manufacturing sector. [2]  

Fab-Tech is proud to support the professional development of its employees and equally proud to see its employees seizing such opportunities.
