Bucks County Community College will be extending its free metalwork training program to include another session this upcoming January.
To meet local employers’ demand for skilled workers, Bucks will offer the metalwork manufacturing training program for unemployed or underemployed workers in the area.

The training which is free and starts in January, has particular criteria that students must meet to qualify. An information session will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on November 13. The session will be held inside the college’s Lower Bucks Campus on Veterans Highway in Bristol.
According to the college, representatives of companies looking to hire workers with these skills will be on hand to answer questions that applicants may have.
The college began the program last year and since, graduates have found entry-level positions within the local area thanks to skills and connections made in the program.
