PTEC (Pinellas Technical Education Center) representative Betty Miller stated
before Career Options closed in October, the agency had partnered with PTECto
offer the Environmental Technician Training Program. 0.1 the program's 11
graduates, 10 are employed. One cares for a disabled relative. Now, EPA has
approved PTEC to manage the grant. The next 1 Q-week program begins next
week. Remediation classes are offered to those who need help. The program is
free to Brownfields area residents. For others, the cost of tuition, books, and
C"P~ insurance is estimated at $500. She encouraged companies to send students to the
\~\~;, 'program. She hoped PTEC can offer 2 programs a year before funding expires in
March 2002.

Discussion ensued regarding barriers to training, including transportation,
child-care, and the difficulty of participating in a 1 Q-week program without income.
It was recommended PTEC follow through with those who show initial interest and
improve it~ outreach. Ms. Miller indicated some older residents have expressed
concern regarding physical aspects of related jobs. It was suggested program
participants be encouraged to recruit others.

In response to a question, Ms. Miller indicated the State requires all PTEC
diploma programs to place 80% of its graduates. PTEC has a full-time career
coun~elor and placement coordinators. While beginning wages for program
graduates average $8/hour, career advancement is possible in many related fields.
The program features 300 fours of workshops, a 2-week internship, and training for
those who lack a commercial driver's license. Many municipalities need staff with
this type of training.
