On Saturday, April 14th, Governor Peter Shumlin addressed the 81
graduates in Vermont Department of Labor's Electrical and Plumbing
Apprenticeship Programs at a ceremony held on the Vermont Tech
Randolph Campus.
"As graduates of this program, you have set yourself on a path for
a career which will provide you and your family with tremendous
economic and job security, and will enable you to stay in Vermont
and raise your family in our wonderful state," said Shumlin.
Vermont Tech manages the apprenticeship-related instruction classes
under contract with the Vermont Department of Labor, and holds
classes at technical centers located in Barre, Essex, Hartford,
Newport, Rutland, Springfield, and St. Johnsbury. More than 300
students are enrolled in the programs, and many of the graduates in
the class of 2012 are now eligible to take the Journeyman's
Licensing Exam.
In addition to a warm welcome from Vermont Tech's president, Dr.
Phillip A. Conroy, Jr., students heard from Annie Noonan,
