Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - FIVE PORT JOBS -Continued from PAGE ONE Eastern Oregon University, stay on top of this, to make ing and job preparation being offered by BMCC the Port of Morrow and the ter understanding of their needs and how to prepare students for the jobs, and careers, there. He says it is of course a two-way street and industry needs to be communicating its needs, also. “I want to see integra- tion,” Neal says, “between the needs of the industries and what the schools are doing.” To that end, the Port has just recently cre- ated a new position called the Workforce Develop- ment Coordinator, whose job it will be to serve as a liaison between the Port of Morrow industries and educators such as BMCC, InterMountain Education Service District, and Mor- row County and Ione school districts. According to the job description the main pur- pose of the coordinator “is to connect Morrow County employers and residents with programs and services, especially those opportuni- ties leading to employment in local industry, acting as a clearing house for work- force training and develop programs.” The Port is now advertising for the position and hopes to have someone on board soon. “We need someone to sure the schools and indus- try are communicating,” Neal says of the new posi- tion. “We need someone to shepherd the process.” Gary’s wife Kathy is also involved with educa- tion in Morrow County, serving on the education service district, and on the local Morrow County Edu- cation Foundation, which receives funds, mainly from the Columbia River En- terprise Zone, to spend on better education in Morrow County. The citizens of Morrow County are also committed and behind more train- school’s certification pre- pares workers for the jobs there. “A data center tech- nician installs, maintains and repairs a data center’s computer and network sys- tems. Students completing this one-year certificate are fully prepared for employ- ment in this rapidly grow- ing industry,” the colleges description states. When asked to predict where he sees the Port of Morrow going in the future with respect to industry and job creation: “More of the same,” Neal says without hesitation. “Energy, data and natural resources.” to train students for jobs at the Port are included in the college’s Industrial Systems Technology program. This program, according to the college, will teach students to “troubleshoot, maintain and repair industrial sys- tems, analyze technical data, promote energy ef- ficiency and industrial sus- tainability and contribute to a positive professional workplace culture.” Another program of- fered by BMCC will be the Data Center Techni- cian (CC) certification. Amazon has constructed several large data farms at for their local students. In 2015 the voters stepped up and approved a bond issue for BMCC to build a workforce training center in Boardman. This training center has been built and will hold its grand open- ing this Thursday from 4-6 p.m. The new training cen- ter will provide job skills workshops, college pre- paratory classes for adults and customized training for business and industry. It will also have an early learning center to get the very young kids prepared to start school. Some of the classes 25 SW Emigrant Pendleton, OR 97801 chris@sykesrealestate.net 188 W. Willow P.O.
