These scholarships are

“We are pleased to part-

to the health, wellbeing
and safety of our commu-

Businesses should en-

(ESA) program, in di-
rect response to the
COVID-19 Public Health
Crisis.
The 18-hour rapid cer-
tification program aims to
train people how to thor-
oughly clean and disinfect
healthcare facilities, such
as hospital, out-patient
services, and nursing
homes.
LCC President Marga-
ret Hamilton and Oregon
Bureau of Labor & Indus-
try Commissioner Val
Hoyle began discussing
the need for a statewide
program of this caliber in
early April and formed a
team to develop curric-
ulum under the direc-
tion of Russ Pierson, the
Florence Branch of Lane
Community
College’s
Course Background
Dean.
In May 2020, Lane

Aide program, they re-
ceived numerous requests
from businesses and
agency partners through-
out Lane County to cre-
ate a shorter course that
was ultimately designed
with restaurant, retail,
and hospitality workers in
mind.
LCC in turn created an
8-hour quick course that
is specifically designed to
protect the community of
restaurant, hospitality and
retail workers that contin-
ues to show up and serve
our communities and our
visitors.
While there is some
content overlap with
the 18-hour course, the
QuickCourse focuses less
on information specific
to healthcare facilities to
provide more information
for frontline workers out-
side of the medical field.
