Job Fair for Utility Companies, RCC Graduates

Orange and Rockland Utilities, partnering with Rockland Community College’s (RCC) Continuing Education and SUNY Orange’s Continuing and Professional Education staffs, sponsored a job fair for the graduates of their gas technician training course at SUNY Rockland in Haverstraw recently.

The job fair was designed to introduce natural gas pipeline construction companies to new graduates of the gas technician training course sponsored by O&R, RCC and SUNY Orange.

The introduction renews the labor pool for the contractors and offers the opportunity for a job to the graduates.

The goal of the partnership is to broaden the labor pool of qualified natural gas pipeline technicians for the many infrastructure rehabilitation and renewal projects under way or on the drawing board.
