Lifetrack Resources Hits 100% Job Placement in Green Jobs Partnership
Lifetrack Resources’ graduates find employment upon completion of the RENEW project.
By Kimberly MillsDuring 2010-2011 Lifetrack Resources has provided green-work skills training and job placement for 41 individuals through the Renewable Energy Network Empowering Workers (RENEW) Project.
A recent success of the RENEW project is the Basic Green Facilities Services Training which Lifetrack Resources developed through a strong partnership with Dunwoody College of Technology. The three-month training utilized modern environmentally friendly principles in Professional Cleaning, Green Workplace & Blueprint Reading, and Certified Pool Operator. One hundred percent of the participants completing the program were placed into employment in their field within a month of completing the training making $8.25 to $10.60 hourly. Mariam Shehata, Lifetrack Resources Green Jobs Training Specialist said, “I am thrilled with the training and excited that all of our graduates were able to quickly find employment! “
The training was made possible from federal funding awarded to the City of Minneapolis Employment and Training Program in partnership with the Ramsey county Workforce Solutions. These funds were used by many businesses and educational institutions in the Twin Cities. This project focused on providing sustainable pathways out of poverty for some of the cities most disadvantaged citizens, while ensuring that area businesses have access to a well-trained workforce that is prepared to carry out the work of greening the local economy.
