For the second year in a row, I left this event extremely impressed with both the initiative of students who attended and the involvement of their families and community. The future of our country rests in the hands of its youth, but it is the responsibility of all to provide supportive encouragement of their pursuits benefitting the greater good. #SkilledTrades #HollyHighSchool #MDTS #Apprenticeships #TIRAP #CommunicationsInfrastructre #FosteringFutureLeaders

Join us on December 12 at 11 a.m. EST to explore how Corning is educating a skilled fiber optic workforce in collaboration with Wireless Infrastructure Association's TIRAP: Powered by WIA Apprenticeship Program. Corning's Fiber Broadband Technician course is an entry-level program, ideal for those new to the fiber industry. This hands-on course incorporates network design, splicing, and system troubleshooting. Corning’s CFBT course aligns directly with the WIA/TIRAP Fiber Optic Technician apprenticeship, satisfying training requirements. https://ms.spr.ly/6048iuIw4 #FiberBroadband #broadband

Again another reason why TIRAP is so vital to the upcoming builds.

We're proud of the progress we've made in expanding quality training programs throughout the broadband industry. Thank you to Fiber Broadband Association and our other partners for supporting Registered Apprenticeship!
