You will also be PAID 40 hours a week at a rate of around $27 per hour.

If you cannot make this day or time we can also send you a recording. Request an invite by visiting our website: https://www.ppl-inc.org/career-training-info-session-signup
You can also email us at ccintake@ppl-inc.org to directly ask questions or request to get started on the process.
Outcomes
You will be directly connected to Hennepin County and Great River Energy (GRE) for direct hiring opportunities after graduation. You will also earn customer service and sales, Mental Health and First Aid, and OSHA 30 certifications as well benefit from two paid attempts at your boilers license exam. You will practice operating large machinery at extreme sandbox.
Program Costs
Free - Based on Household Income up to 200% to the poverty-line.
