Partners within ShaleNET's Eastern Region Hub gathered at Penn College on Wednesday for a variety of presentations and wide-ranging discussion of educational and occupational trends in the natural gas field. A number of industry representatives were on hand for the meeting, which was held in the Thompson Professional Development Center and included a video of student testimonials from a recent "roustabout" graduation. The daylong session concluded with a tour of the consortium's well-site trainer and the college's mechatronics lab, both in the Center for Business & Workforce Development.
