The Earth Conservancy is now recruiting for its Environmental Workforce Training Program to provide unemployed, underemployed and dislocated workers in Northeastern Pennsylvania with workforce training.

Although the mines closed decades ago, northeastern Pennsylvania is still dealing with environmental and economic challenges resulting from past anthracite mining.

The EWT Program was designed to address these impacts through a focus on surveying, emphasizes skills and technology required in the reclamation and remediation process.

As Mike Dziak, EC’s President and CEO, has said, “It’s a great opportunity, all around, offering a new way for displaced workers, especially vets, to secure meaningful employment; and for EC to support local revitalization, with extremely positive environmental and economic effects.”

The Conservancy will hold a public information session on this opportunity--

-- December 17: PA CareerLink Luzerne, 32 East Union Street in Wilkes-Barre from 1:30 to 2:30.

Registration requested.  Visit www.pacareerlink.pa.gov and search under “View Local Events.”

The EWT Program is supported by major grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the PPL Foundation.
