Energy Technology Center receives Governor's award
December 17, 2007
OLYMPIA, Wash.— Highlighting the value of collaboration, the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board designated the Center of Excellence for Energy Technology at Centralia College as one of the winners of the 2007 Governor's Award for Best Practices in Workforce Development. David Harrison, chairman of the Workforce Board, announced the awards at the Workforce and Economic Development 2007 Leadership Conference held in Tacoma last month. The winners were selected for innovation in problem solving, collaboration with other partners and for their results in improving the lives and businesses of participants.
With a focus on the development and expansion of education and training programs for the energy industry at Centralia and other colleges in Washington, the center has brought together International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 77 with regional power employers such as Tacoma Power, Puget Sound Energy, and Bonneville Power Administration to identify skill standards for jobs in electric power generation. For more information on the center, contact: Barbara Hins-Turner, executive director, (360) 736-9391.
