Muhlenberg Job Corps recognizes John Austin for going above and beyond

The Muhlenberg Job Corps Center recently recognized John Austin as the quarterly Above and Beyond Outstanding Employee. Austin was chosen for his commitment to ensuring that nine students succeeded in an accelerated Heavy Equipment Operators course. Through Austin’s leadership, this team of nine students quickly became a fine-tuned unit of skilled, well-trained operators. Four the students will transfer to Advanced Training programs and three will leave the center with jobs in their fields.

Austin’s commitment to excellence played a key role in these students’ success. He provided one-on-one instruction to students outside normal training hours to ensure that all met and surpassed the established course standards. He also provided on-the-job training by enlisting his team of students to clear the center’s roadways, parking lots and sidewalks of snow and ice this winter. Muhlenberg Job Corps staff noted these students’ professionalism and positive behavior as they tackled this important assignment and ensured the safety of all Muhlenberg’s students and staff.

Congratulations John Austin for going above and beyond!
