Muhlenberg Job Corps female student soars in non-traditional trade!
Hats off to Muhlenberg Job Corps student Anne Marie Scheer, who not only is training in a non-traditional trade for women, but who is excelling in that trade! Scheer, 25, non-residential student, drives 106 miles round trip daily from her home in Webster County to attend Muhlenberg AND juggles her training with the demands of motherhood! Talk about a busy woman!She enrolled in Job Corps with her high school diploma and has successfully completed the Heavy Equipment Operators course, which has landed her certifications in OSHA, flagger and fork lift operations. Her goal is to continue her education in other training areas such as construction equipment mechanics and the truck driving course (CDL) before transferring to advanced mechanics training.
John Austin, Heavy Equipment Operator instructor, states “Anne is one of the hardest, most dedicated students I have ever had in class. She can operate any piece of equipment, takes all safety precautions, and has never had a safety incident during her training.”
The Muhlenberg Job Corps offers four non-traditional trade opportunities to promote females in the workforce: Heavy Equipment Operator, Construction Equipment Mechanics, Heavy Truck Driving, and Welding. Job Corps program provides training and resources, at no cost to those who qualify, in support of recruitment, retention, and workforce readiness.
