Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Education

Olive-Harvey College (OHC) announced it is expanding its forklift educational training program to its satellite campus in South Chicago. The new class, featuring an inaugural dual-credit class for students from George Washington High School, will give individuals the skills that can unlock jobs while also teaching important workplace skills like spatial awareness and safety compliance. And for the first time ever, a college credit class will be offered at the satellite campus of Olive-Harvey College. The intensive 3.5-day program prepares students to become safe and effective forklift operators, opening doors to higher skilled jobs. In the class, students will learn foundational theory followed by practical, hands-on forklift training on-site. Upon completion, students will earn a basic certificate from Olive-Harvey College at no cost to them or their families. Upon completion students can earn high school and college credits. Later this summer, the Forklift Operation program will be open to the public. The program qualifies for Future Ready (www.ccc.edu/futureready) an initiative that helps eligible Chicagoans prepare for in-demand careers at no cost.
