Northampton CC adds training programs for new career seekers

Northampton Community College is offering programs for those looking for a new career and those currently employed.

A 10-week Industrial Maintenance Training Program will provide participants with the skills needed to fill entry-level positions for Lehigh Valley and Pocono businesses and embark on a new career with an average starting salary of up to $25/hour.

A 10-hour or 30-hour General Industry Outreach Training class will provide current employees with the knowledge to avoid workplace injuries and illnesses, and in turn, save their company costly fines, legal issues and lost productivity.
