Pierpont Community and Technical College is offering free training for oil and gas industry jobs for a second time through the grant program, "Marcellus ShaleNET."
The program is through the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment, and Training Administration.
The ShaleNET training is a three week, 120 hour course that certifies students to work on entry-level natural gas and oil rigs.
The grant covers the cost of tuition for the program but students will pay a $100 registration fee.
"This is quite an opportunity," said Pierpont Vice President of Workforce Education Paul Schreffler. "This industry is growing in this area. There's been a huge amount of employment in this area. It's a long term job. It's not just short term, they are going to come and go."
Students must finish the registration and screening process by January 28 to participate.
