I don't know if this would apply, or if there are any eligible folks out there with ties to NE Ohio, but the community college where I teach ( Stark State College of Technology) has several programs that would definitely qualify - advanced energy systems technologies (we have a joint fuel cells research program with Rolls Royce on campus) and an accelerated certificate in welding (spurred by the needs of the local oil boom) are two that come to mind. There are others, like an environmental healthy & safety program and a first responders program (fire fighting & EMS) that also come to mind.Kip GardnerNorth Canton, OHOn Jul 29, 2012, at 6:42 AM, John Francis wrote:> >>> If you qualify, this is an opportunity to learn some additional > skills that could apply to building a Pietenpol.
