Monday and Tuesday January 9th and 10th 2011 three Painting students from the Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center attended a Fall Prevention and Protection class offered by the Builders Association of Kansas City. During this class students learned the proper use of equipment for them to work at various heights. The Job Corps Center and The Builders Association partner several times throughout the year for our students to obtain extra training and certificates to make them employable.

Pictured (left to right) are Painting student Terrell Harris and Painting Union Instructor Dave Schultz practicing the bowline- an important knot for hauling equipment to and from the heights that they may be working at while painting.
