NWA-Delta Project: Training and Education

Training opportunities give our clients the chance to learn new job skills, refresh their credentials, or otherwise prepare for new employment options and increase their marketability.

HIRED offers its clients a variety of opportunities to update their skills through education courses at local colleges. Just a few of the courses our clients have taken in the past include:

• Accounting
• Child development
• Electronic technician
• Legal assistant
• Pharmacy technician

The Metalforming Manufacturing Training Program, offered through a partnership with Hennepin Technical College, offers training to jobseekers who would like to enter the manufacturing industry as well as those jobseekers who are seeking advanced training for a new position or career. The program — developed with a grant from the National Association of Manufacturers — grew out of a need for skilled workers in several Twin Cities-based manufacturing plants. The 96-hour training program focuses on classroom training that meets National Institute for Metalworking Skills credential requirements. For more information on HIRED’s manufacturing special initiative, contact your employment counselor.
