Mr. Oscar Derderian, Regional Coordinator  from the Transportation Communications Union (TCU) recently visited the Muhlenberg Job Corps Center.  The purpose of his visit was to promote the TCU advanced training, answer student questions, recruit eligible students, and conduct current applicant interviews.  Over the past year the Muhlenberg Job Corps Center has transferred more students to TCU programs than any other center in the nation.　

Mr. Derderian stated there is currently a very high need for welders in their Carman program.  Successful graduates of this program will be placed in a variety of maintenance jobs on the railroad and can expect to earn at least $18.00 an hour.  Some of Muhlenberg Job Corps recent Carman program graduates are earning over $20.00 an hour.  Mr. Derderian’s presentation sparked a lot of interest and  many of our students are starting the application process to transfer to TCU over the next few months.
