The State of Illinois is involved in a lawsuit with the Construction Unions due to their lack of hiring & employing minorities. In an effort to provide some damage control, the unions are working with a nonprofit organization to provide testing, training, and job placement within several unions for minorities, mostly African-Americans. (drywallers, electricians, heavy equip. operators, carpentry, plumbing, etc.) The name of the organization is Project P.R.I.D.E. and it's run by a church on the south side, St. Paul on 45th & Wabash. The classes are going to be at Prairie State College in Chicago Heights.

As it was explained to me, you choose a field in which you'd like to work, and they will basically walk you through the entire process to get you hired into a union. If you DO NOT have any experience in that particular field, the STARTING pay rate is $29.00 per hour!!! More if you have a background in that field.

The contact's name is Tonya Cody-Robinson, and the number at which you can reach her is:  (773)538-5120. They are looking to recruit very heavily right now, as they have not received enough participants to begin the February class. The class is M-F, 8am-2:30pm, and it runs for 12 weeks

ComEd has commissioned the Dawson Skill Center to train electrical line men. Com Ed has a severe shortage and wants Dawson to train candidates so they can have a pool to draw from.  One must apply to get into the education program at Dawson.  It starts this August, so they must jump on it.  Applicants have to call 773-451-2100 to get an application.  It's a 10-month program, you don't need any college and either Com Ed or one of its subsidiaries will hire you after successful completion of the program.

You must be comfortable with heights, read and write at the 10th grade level, and pass a drug and criminal background check to get into the program.  After successful completion and hiring, you start with $65,000 yr and elevate within 6 -8 months up to S100,000 with overtime.

Pass this to your proteges and to your church mentors. They are specifically looking for diversity-- And where can you make $100,000 a year with no college degree?  Heck, I have three degrees and I don't make 6- figures!!!  So, pass this on -- to men and women!!!!  A great opportunity-- Good Luck!!!!

The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the right age group(under 31) and with some effort they could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years. You need only a high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the exam.  They need to go to faa.gov and specifically at:
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/ for
details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don't know if they'd want to attend immediately. It's the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW.

There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It's my understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted. My friend's daughter is 28 years old and is well into 6 figures and has plenty of time for travel/recreation and has started another career on the side.
 
This could be a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after-which you can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower.
