SBE’s Process Technician ITAR program is an intensive eight-week, forty hours per week, total immersion education program. Training will begin in 2011 with two sessions of 10-15 participants each. Following the completion of the unpaid education phase, the Process Technician positions at SBE will start at $12.92 per hour, plus shift differential and benefits. The potential to earn more is available upon the completion of a one-year apprenticeship. Graduates of the education and apprenticeship program may earn college credits towards an associate degree from a community college. The program is funded through a federal grant acquired through the Office of Senator Patrick J. Leahy, and is administered through the US Department of Labor. In addition to occupational skills training, soft skills and work readiness components will be woven into the curriculum. The program is targeted for unemployed and underemployed Vermonters.
