“We’ve recently partnered with a number of employers in the region on what we’re calling the High Road Training Partnership Program to perform some diesel to electrical conversions. As the technology advances to switch fleets over, including smaller diesel engines, a number of employers in the area are looking
to move toward zero emission operations; we’ll be housing the training for that conversion,” said Randy Korgan, Teamsters Local 1932 principal officer. The conversion to zero emissions is an initiative that was heavily supported by the California Workforce Development Board through a $1.3 million grant…and a dire necessity to the Inland community in response to the heavy pollutions caused by the warehouse saturated workforce in the region. “Our new site will also house more office space, meeting halls and classrooms for future trainings. We’re looking forward to operating this training center where we can rollout the High School to High Paying Jobs initiative where we can connect people and their loved ones to good paying jobs in the region,” continued Korgan.
