WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) welcomed the construction of the Butler Warren County Electrical Joint Apprenticeship Training Center in Liberty Township. The U.S. Department of Economic Administration awarded $1.5 million to the Butler and Warren County Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Trust Fund to build a 19,900-square-foot electrical trades training facility to prepare local workers with the necessary skills to secure good-paying, union jobs. This project is expected to create 300 jobs, retain 200 jobs, and generate $20 million in private investment.
“As we position Ohio to lead in the industries of the future, we need to make sure the next generation of Ohioans have the skills they need to succeed,” said Brown. “The Butler Warren County Joint Apprenticeship Training Center will prepare students for careers in the trades and expand opportunities for more Ohioans to get good-paying, union jobs.”
