Freightliner And PCC Embark On New
Training Program
Portland Community College has
been awarded $101,364 in lottery
funds from the Oregon Economic De
velopment Department to train 350
new Freightliner employees under a
planned Portland expansion of the
national truck manufacturing com
pany.
Freightliner Corp, has commit
ted an additional $180,992 in match
ing funds for the training, which de
velops workforce programs custom
ized to Freightliner’s education needs.
“This program will provide an
excellent opportunity for entry level
workers to gain high-skill, well-pay
ing jobs,” said Bill Scott, director of
Oregon Economic Development De
partment. “There is a tremendous
opportunity for a long-term partner
sh ip b etw een the co lleg e and
Freightliner.”
Grants of this type are awarded to
community colleges, which tailor
training programs to meet specific
company needs. Dr. Dan Moriarty,
president of Portland Community
College, said, “We are very pleased to
provide the training needed by
Freightliner and help the company
grow in this area.”
“The knowledge and skills of our
employees are more important than
ever,’ said Jim Hebe, Freightliner
president and CEO. “We need to at-
tract and train new people to keep up
with our growth and capacity expan
sions. But equally important, we have
an obligation and commitment to re
invest in our existing people. We
can’t expect an employee who was
hired and trained 10 years ago to be
prepared to handle the technologies
of tomorrow. Without having good
people to begin with, a good educa
tion system to depend on, and the best
internal training programs to build
on, we’d never meet our customers’
expectations for continual innovation
and unremitting product quality.
“Freightliner and Oregon have
created the opportunity for our em
ployees and our citizens to keep grow
ing and keep raising their skill levels
to better ensure both Freightliner’s
future and the future of this state. This
training grant will benefit our present
2,370 Oregon plant employees and
will help us build the trucks that build
the demand for many more employ
ees in the future.
“Our success will reverberate
through the region with the success of
our suppliers with an expanded tax
base and higher-skilled, family-wage
jobs,” Hebe said.
Frieghtliner Corporation, the
leading manufacturer of heavy-duty
trucks in North America, employs
8,332 people in the U.S. and Canada,
if which 3,700 work in Oregon at its
:orporate headquarters, truck plant
ind parts plant. The plants operate at

know that PSU is available to them.
“This camp is also a great opportu

urban prevention effort,” he says.
“And they can’t help but benefit
from knowing about the diverse cul
