To make good on Fluor's desire to hire local labor, the company will offer craft training at it's new facility, 3734 U.S. 69 North, Beaumont.

Industrial Safety Training Council, a contract company officed in the training center, will assist in the hiring process.ISTC will take applications, perform background checks and orientation safety training.

At one end of the facility, training for welding will be offered.

"This is for welders who either want to improves their skills or for those who want to become welders," Wenzel said.
...
"We'll be offering training for anything from laborers to welder craftsmen," Wenzel said."You can come in and not know anything about refinery work and be a laborer, or enroll in training to enhance skills you already have."
