~ New Online Learning Option for IUOE Local 302/612 members ~

The Ellensburg Training Center, in conjunction with the IUOE National Training Fund, has developed online training to improve member knowledge of a variety of subjects, including grading, crane operation, commercial driver's license, CPR, and more.

Taking online classes reduces the need to drive to the Ellensburg Training Center and are great tools to study for upcoming certifications or brush up on skills you haven’t used in a while. For some classes, you may need to attend part of the training in person.
