As we enter a new year of unlimited possibilies at the College
of Technology, I rst want to extend my deepest gratude and
warmest wishes. It is through your generous support andfriendship that we are able to be an instuon pushing the
forefront of advancement.
The College of Technology achieved a large number of successesin 2012. Without your ongoing support and friendship, none of
these remarkable accomplishments would be possible. It is with
that opmism for the future and reecon on the past that I share
our Tech Annualmagazine with you. I hope you will have pride in
the College of Technology as you read about our accomplishmentsfrom this past year.
Inside the pages of this publicaon you will nd stories about ourdedicated alumni, instructors, and students. In 2012, we received
a major donaon that will help to train the next generaon
of aircra mechanics (page 4), we were the benefactors of a
generous endowment created on behalf of a late friend of theCollege (page 10), and we secured an addional $150,000 to go
towards student scholarships in the nuclear program (page 15).
In addion to these milestones, weve lled the pages of this
magazine with a number of other accomplishments that wereproud to share with you, our friends.
Despite the ongoing economic crisis facing the country, ou
graduates are connuing to enjoy a very high job placement rate
and exceponal starng salaries. This speaks to the caliber ofour programs, faculty, and the students we have studying at our
instuon. It is my sincerest hope that you also recognize the high
level of educaon that exists at the College of Technology.
I want to personally invite you to visit our campus, share in our
successes, and connue to foster the relaonship you have with
the College of Technology. For more than 110 years weve enjoyed
the benet of countless alumni and friends, who make educang
our students possible. Your generous gis and support make adierence in bringing educaon to life.

The compeve edge for students graduang from the Idaho
State University Aircra Maintenance Technology program got alot sharper in 2012 thanks to a major partnership and donaon.
The ISU program, thanks to support from an industry partner,
received a fully funconal ight simulator that is already providingvital hands-on training for students. The new simulator will prepare
graduates to successfully enter a growing aviaon industry.
The donated ight simulator was provided by Western Aircra,
a Boise-based company that has taken great interest in the Collegeof Technology. In addion to the donated ight simulator, experse
training and ongoing instrucon is also being provided by WesternAircra on a connuous basis. The aviaon company says their
commitment and investment to higher educaon helps to ensurethat their industry needs will be met by a future workforce.
This is real-world applicaon that we are supplying to ISU,
said Tracy Kalbeisch, Director of Aircra Services at Western
Aircra. I understand how important it is to have the basics ofhow systems work, and what you do when you get out in to the
real world.
The donated simulator provides students with the
opportunity to train using the same technology that they will seeaer graduaon. The cockpit is valued at more than $100,000 and
has already greatly bolstered the program.
What this allows us to do, the cockpit trainer, is to have
the ability to do entry-level tasks without being in an aircra,said Gary Shipley, Aircra Maintenance Technology program
coordinator. We can increase the number of people involved in
our group seng and parallel the real world installaons.The ight simulator allows students to diagnose, troubleshoot
and x real life problems, while using the latest technology
available. Its fully funconal, said Kalbeisch. Its state-of-the-
art. There are a lot of airplanes out there that are ying aroundtoday with this exact technology in them.
Western Aircra has also commied addional trainingmodules and instrucon from employees at their company
Kalbeisch says the total value of their generous commitment tothe College of Technology amounts to more than $250,000. Were
excited about this partnership that has been created, says Dr
Dave Treasure, chair of the ISU Trade and Industrial Department
Our program is top notch and its great to see Western Aircratake noce and be willing to oer their generous support.
The aviaon company made other program visits in the past
year to oer course instrucon and hands-on training to students
The past program visits included training from experiencedemployees at Western Aircra.
Earlier in the year, four technicians from Western Aircra
7/29/2019 2013 Tech Annual

spent two days in Pocatello training students on simulated aircra
circuit boards and airframe design models. Western Aircras
training goes above and beyond what is included in the current
ISU curriculum and exceeds Federal Aviaon Administraonstandards for instrucon.
We are replicang what we actually do in the industry
right here in their classroom. Everything being taught today is
applicable and used on the job, said Louie Gravel, chief inspectoat Western Aircra.
Western Aircra hopes their donaon of equipment and
training will generate an interest from potenal students to pursue
an educaon in aircra maintenance. The company employs a
large number of graduates from the College of Technology andhas been so impressed by those employees that they want to
aract more recruits. We need to create excitement and show
what careers are available in aviaon, said Kalbeisch.Graduates from the aircra maintenance program connue
to enjoy a very high job placement rate. Shipley says the number
of recent graduates from the program who are able to nd
employment shortly aer graduaon is well over 90 percentHe also expects
that number to
connue to grow
in the future.The demand
globally, as wellas naonally, is
higher than its ever been, said Shipley. The average age for thecurrent workforce is about 58, so theres a big gap coming up in
the next ten years both naonally and globally.
Western Aircras donaon of me, personnel, andequipment is helping to shape the next generaon of aircra
mechanics. Western Aircra has been
involved with the College of Technology for 15
years and currently, more than 25 percent oftheir workforce comes from graduates of the
College of Technology.
Faculty and staff from the ISU Aircraft Maintenance Technologyprogram and representatives from Western Aircraft stand infront of the recently donated ight simulator.
We need to create excitement

Since 2007, the program has collected abandoned bikes from
rea police departments and repaired them for children in need.
n 2012, students in the program completely rebuilt 14 bicycles that
were donated to the Southeastern Idaho Community Acon AgencySEICAA). The bikes were later distributed to area children in me for
hristmas.
Using money from their student organizaon, SkillsUSA, new s
chains, res, and grips were purchased. Since a bicycle is a childs
mode of transportaon, students involved with the service project
it was a great way to help out around the holidays.Jeremy Dusn, automove student, said, Just knowing the fe

i-STEM INSTITUTE TEACHES AHANDS-ON APPROACEducaon came to life at the College of Technology during ame when many teachers are accustomed to taking a break from theooks. For the rst me ever, the College of Technology hosted nearly
0 educators during the teachers summer break. The educators,rom schools throughout Southeast Idaho, changed their role from
eacher to student and learned creave ways to implement science,
echnology, engineering, and mathemacs, otherwise known as
TEM.Referred to as i-STEM in Idaho, the statewide iniave has been
olding similar regional instutes since 2010. The instute at Idaho
tate University was the rst for Region Five and focused specically
n energy, agriculture, and environmental educaon. According to thedaho State Department of Educaon, the goal of i-STEM is to enhance
radional lesson plans by incorporang real world experiences for
tudents.
We are providing each of these teachers with a number of toolshat can be taken back to their schools and immediately applied
n a classroom seng, said Chris Guthrie, organizer of the i-STEM
nstute. The focus is really on preparing all students in Idaho to be
he thinkers and creators of tomorrow.During the three-day instute at ISU, parcipang K-12 teachers
were taught how to conduct experiments, went on eld trips, and
stened to industry experts teach fundamentals. Each parcipant
eceived a kit valued at more than $300 to take back to their classroom.ncluded in the kits were supplies for experiments, handouts, and
urriculum tools. Parcipang teachers also received an Android
tablet that came loaded with educaonal materials.
Parcipants went on eld trips to visit the American Falls P
Plant, Idaho Naonal Laboratory, and Don Simplot Plant. They w
able to see how the local industry relies heavily on STEM. Itsexcing to be able to associate with professionals that have pa
for science, mathemacs, engineering, technology and yes, I will
this to my students and Im really excited about that, said Jill Kirk
an educator at the Pocatello Womens Correconal Center.In addion to enhancing tradional lesson plans, i-STEM is ho
to shape Idahos economy and demographics. Guthrie says, Thr
providing real, hands-on skills to students, we can prevent povert
prepare our local workforce to drive the states economy. Teacstudents to have skills that are based in core subjects will be the
to nding a good job in the future.
There was no charge for parcipants to register and aend
three-day event at ISU. The instutue was funded in part throuNaonal Science Foundaon Math and Science Partnership gran
Baelle Memorial Instute, the Idaho State Department of Educa
Simplot, Agrium, Idaho Falls Power, and Partners for Prosperity.
parcipant also received two connuing educaon college creditThe 2013 i-STEM Instue will be a partnership with the ISU Co
of Educaon and once again, be hosted by the College of Techno
The 2013 instute will be extended by one day, so organizers
include more projects, experiments, and eld trips. More informabout i-STEM and the statewide iniaves is available online a

Brandalin Barnes expected to spend her 10-week internship athe Idaho Naonal Laboratory as a go-fer or errand girl. Instead,
he was working in a control room, walking down piping systems, and
monitoring temperature, pressure, and other crical parameters at an
NL nuclear facility.The second-year student at Idaho State Universitys Energy
ystems Technology and Educaon Center (ESTEC) couldnt be happier.
arnes worked at the Materials and Fuels Complexs Fuel Condioning
acility, which contains a large hot cell to protect employees working
with highly-radioacve materials.I had this idea that
an internship would be
making copies and gengcoee, not working in
a hot cell and learning
about system piping and
components, said Barnes,who is enrolled in the
ollege of Technologys Nuclear Operaons Technician program. Its
een amazing. I work with reactor operators and aend the same
raining that qualies them to operate nuclear systems.Barnes was one of a handful of ESTEC nuclear technician students
who spent the summer interning at the INL. Some, like Barnes, woprimarily at the Materials and Fuels Complex while others are b
at the labs Advanced Test Reactor. Barnes and her classmates w
the rst wave of students to enroll in the ESTEC nuclear opera
technician program, which launched in 2011.Richard Holman, INLs workforce iniaves manager, said
goal is to give the students real experience in nuclear systems
operaons.
There is a tremendous shortage of experienced nu
technicians in this country, he said. Anything we can do to these students get experience is important to current and new nu
plants.
Students learn theory in the classroom, but the knowledgeBarnes and other ESTEC students gain in the eld is invaluable.
dont get an idea of the scope or how complex these systems are
you see them and physically touch them, said Barnes.
Holman hopes to increase the number of nuclear operastudents interning at INL in the future. It benets everyone.
students gain experience and are exposed to INL and its mission
said. We are facing the same shortage everyone else is. If we edu
train and hire them locally, it will help ll the needs we have at INL highly trained operators that want to stay in eastern Idaho.
It has been amazing. I work
with reactor operators and
end the same training that
qualifes them to operate.

As the worlds nuclear power plants age, so do those who are
perang and maintaining them. Experse residing in the rering
workforce needs to be transferred to the next generaon of
perators, maintenance sta, and engineers at these aging powerlants, as well as to those employed at all new power plants.
The Idaho Naonal
aboratory (INL) and Idaho
tate University, encouragedy the Nuclear Regulatory
ommission, are working to
rain the next generaon of
uclear operators and skilledmaintenance workforce.
INL has signed a Work
or Others agreement withSU to conduct four motor-
perated valve (MOV)raining classes each year for
he nuclear power industry,aid Gary Smith, INLs senior
ommercializaon manager
or Nuclear Science and
echnology. This course ofnstrucon will be extremely
mportant in ensuring that key
afety knowledge is passed
n to the next generaon ofhe nuclear power industry,
mith added.
We held our rst MOV
ndustry training class at ISUs Energy Systems Technology andducaon Center (ESTEC) September 10, said Lawrence Beaty,
STECs execuve director. Our rst four and a half day industry
lass earned a special disncon. Two of the seven students were
nternaonal aendees from Belgium.I have been part of the MOV Engineering Team for the last
hree years, said Jolinda Reid, nuclear technologist at Comanche
eak Nuclear Power Plant, and aer aending the Motor Operated
Valve Design Basis Course, my knowledge and understanding of MOVperaons design and funcon has expanded. She added, I would
ighly recommend this course to all personnel in the MOV industry.
Using federal funding, INL designed and fabricated a motor
perated valve test stand originally installed at INL to evaluate
erformance and operang characteriscs of a variety of MOVssed within the nuclear industry. Ownership of this test stand has
een transferred to ISU and now resides on campus. This test stand
nd the Motor Operated Valve Design Basis Course are part of thechools technical educaon program.
In 2004, ISU began working with INL to transfer the Nuclear
egulatory Commission MOV training course to Idaho State
University, said Beaty. With INLs help and experience, ISU has beenble to establish and maintain a highly respected technical training

bout MOVs came from NRC-sponsored research performed
t INL. This knowledge includes historical reports, internaonalournal arcles, conference proceedings, user group presentaons,
nd details about industry tools used for both operaons and
maintenance of the nuclear components.
Kevin DeWall from INL has been a stalwart as a lecturer tonsure that our training program is of the highest quality, said
eaty.
Dewall added, Mark Holbrook and I have a combined 49
ears of experience with nuclear MOV design, maintenance,nd training. In our rst industry class at ISU, we had the next
eneraon of engineers and operaonal managers in aendance.
o, we are passing our knowledge on to support the safe operaon
f current and future nuclear reactors.The MOV training course covers decades of operaonal and
material informaon, including history, operaonal theory, valve
esign, controls, regulatory requirements, periodic vericaon,
nd inspecon regimen. A key element of the course is a sharingf lessons learned during the past 50 years. Each aendee that
ompletes the course is awarded a cercate.
The Energy Systems Technology and Educaon Center (ESTEC) at
he College of Technology will soon be coordinang the nuclear energy
ducaon and training for technicians in a nine-state region.
The Nuclear Energy Instute (NEI) has designated ESTEC as theNorthwest Regional Center of Excellence for Nuclear Educaon and
raining. The top designaon includes the states of Idaho, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah, and
Nebraska. ESTEC is one of ve regional NEI-designated centers in thenre country.
ESTECs role as a regional center will be to collaborate with the
ommunity and technical colleges in those states to distribute and
coordinate curriculum, pursue program improvements, integ
technology, and share informaon.
This is a signicant accomplishment and speaks highly o
curriculum, faculty, and graduates we have at Idaho State Universaid Lawrence Beay, Chair and Execuve Director of ESTEC.
will now be responsible for supporng our educaonal partne
the Northwest as we collaboravely work to implement and imp
nuclear educaon.NEI developed regional centers as part of a push for implement
of the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program. The eort is le
industry to ensure nuclear technicians and operators learn sp
documentable content that is now governed by the InstutNuclear Power Operaons under ACAD 08-006. The Naonal Sci
Foundaon is a key supporter of both the content and concept o
program.Thirty-eight colleges, including the ISU College of Technology
26 ulies currently parcipate in the Nuclear Uniform Curric
Program.
It is an honor for ESTEC to be designated as a regional censaid Richard Holman, Energy Workforce Iniaves Manager for I
Naonal Laboratory, which led the concepon and developm
of ESTEC in 2007. ESTEC, in partnership with INL, has built g
relaonships with the nuclear energy industry and that was one oreasons it was selected.
ISU RECEIVESTOP DESIGNATIONFOR NUCLEAR TRAINING
For the third me in almost as many years, the Energy Syst
Technology and Educaon Center (ESTEC) at the College of Techno
was awarded funding for student scholarships. The Nuclear Regula
Commission (NRC) awarded $149,400 to Idaho State Universitywas distributed to students in the fall.
The funding provided ESTEC with the opportunity to suppor
scholarships in the amount of $6,500 for incoming students intoprogram. An addional 13 scholarships were also awarded to studalready enrolled in ESTEC programs.
Lawrence Beaty, execuve director/chair of ESTEC, said, T
are mul-benet scholarships that will provide opportunies for I
students to be able to aord an educaon and gain necessary sknuclear operaons and maintenance. This focus on nuclear educ
is consistent with Governor [C.L. Butch] Oers iniave to enh
the long-term viability of Idahos nuclear industry.
ESTEC launched the nuclear operaons technician prografall 2011 with help from the Idaho Naonal Laboratory. The fun
from the NRC underscores the regional importance of this progr
said Richard Holman, INLs manager of energy workforce inia
It is crical that we have the resources to educate and train thegeneraon of nuclear technicians and operators.
The NRC also awarded funding to ISU that allowed schola
recipients an opportunity to travel to a naonal nuclear confer
that was held in Florida in December. The professional conferprovided networking and educaonal experiences for stud
focused on nuclear careers. Addional funding through the grant
pays for scholarship recipients to travel to an internship prior to
graduaon from ESTEC.This was the third me since 2008 that ESTEC received fun
from the NRC, an amount that now totals more than $350,00
student scholarships.

GROWL BENGALS, GROWLNEW STATUE COMES TO LIFE THROUGH 3D IMAGING
The newest addion on Idaho State Universitys campus tookn a life of its own through the use of lasers, GPS, and specialized
oware. Students studying in the ISU Geomacs Technology program
reated a three-dimensional image of the new bronze Bengal statuehortly aer it was unveiled in the fall. The statue, which overlooks
he Hutchinson Quadrangle, was measured using the latest surveying
echnology available.
The project, which was organized by faculty in the geomacsechnology program, demonstrated the accuracy of available
urveying equipment. We wanted to use the laser scanner on
omething that the students are familiar with, said Darren Leavi,
SU Geomacs and Civil Engineering Technology instructor. Thetatue was the right size to give our students a starng point and
amiliarize them with this technology.
The students were able to complete an accurate, 3-D image of the
bronze statue in less than one hour. First, targets were placed arothe statue at locaons locked down by Global Posioning Sy
(GPS) satellites. The scanning device then sent out laser beams w
methodically hit the enre statue. Each laser was reected apixel of informaon was sent back to the scanner. The pixels
then recorded and a picture of the statue was painted and ma
out.
This modern technology has changed the way tradisurveying of roads, bridges, and buildings is being complete
engineers. The exposure of students to this equipment is extre
important to their success aer graduaon, says Leavi. This i
way that our industry is heading, and projects like these reinfwhat they have learned in the classroom.
Leavi also added that this technology allows surveyor

otenally dangerous. The laser scanner also permits modicaons
o be designed to exisng structures without having to close down an

Industry representaves from Bonneville Blueprint, an Idaho
ompany with oces in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, and Boise, brought the
canning device used in the project and donated their me to givenstrucon. The surveying company also assisted the ISU program
arlier in the year to complete a similar 3-D image of the Brady Chapel
nside Pocatellos Mountain View Cemetery. According to Bonneville
lueprint, the scanning device costs about $130,000.The ISU Geomacs Technology program is one of only a few

Aer serving a year as interimdean, Idaho State University
permanently appointed R. Sco
Rasmussen as the dean of theCollege of Technology. The ocial
announcement was made in Aprilby Dr. Barbara Adamcik, Interim
Provost and Vice President.Rasmussen had been serving in
the interim role since May 2011,
when he replaced Marilyn Davis.
Prior to being appointed dean, Rasmussen was the execuve
irector of the Energy Systems Technology and Educaon Center
ESTEC) in the College of the Technology for four years. Rasmussen alsopent ten years as department chair of the Electronics Department at
he College.
In 2007, Rasmussen was instrumental in the creaon of ESTEC
with successful grant proposals to the Naonal Science Foundaon
nd the Department of Labor totaling over $2.6 million. Under hisirecon, ESTEC grew from three original programs to seven, with the
most recent being the Nuclear Operaons Technology and Renewable
nergy Technology programs. ESTEC places sought-aer graduates
with energy companies and other manufacturing rms across theountry.
Rasmussens employment with ISU began as an instructthe Electronic Systems Technology program where he taught r
frequency principles for eight years. He also received Outstan
Professor of Industrial Technology award by the Naonal Associof Industrial Technology (NAIT). Rasmussen also served as chair
membership in the Electrical, Electronics, and Computer TechnoDivision for several years at the NAIT.
Prior to joining the ISU Faculty, Rasmussen was employe
the Union Pacic Railroad in the communicaons department
responsibilies included systems maintenance and trouble shoof a wide variety of analog and digital radio frequency systems.
Rasmussen holds an Associate of Applied Science degree
the Electronic Systems Technology program at the ISU Colleg
Technology; a Bachelor of Science degree from ISU with a
major in vocaonal-technical educaon and corporate training;a Masters of Educaon degree from ISU. He completed his t

Troubleshoong Curriculum in Laboratory-based versus Theore
Presentaons. While seeking his masters degree, he was naCollege of Educaon Student of the Year.
Rasmussen and his wife, Pat, are the parents of six children11 grandchildren. He enjoys spending me with his family, ying
controlled model airplanes, and riding motorcycles.
In 2012, the College of Technology announced the creaon of a
new bachelors degree and students began enrolling in classes. Thenewly-created Bachelor of Science in Fire Services Administraon
was implemented as an enrely online, four year degree. The re
services program is oered to professional re ghters and othersseeking advanced educaon and career development to become
re administrators in the state of Idaho.
This is an opportunity for re service professionals to increase
their academic preparaon to be beer prepared to keep Idahofamilies safe all while connuing their usual employment, says Dr.
Paul Peterson, chair of the ISU Health Occupaons Department.
In the past, the College of Technology oered associate degrees
in both re services administraon and emergency management.Graduates of both of those programs saw the benets of educaon
in their careers and requested an extension to make the two year
programs into four year oerings.
The new bachelor of science degree incorporates curriculumdeveloped by the Naonal Fire Academys Fire and Emergency
Services Higher Educaon (FESHE) iniave. Forty-two upper
division credits in the new degree include: educaon in disaster
planning and control, community risk reducon, and re-relatedhuman behavior.

The taste of victory was sweet for Thomas Stacey and Josephine
Wells aer they placed second in a culinary compeon in Salt Lakeity. The two Idaho State University students competed over the
ummer in the 15th annual Nicco Cup Compeon. Stacey and Wells
epresented the ISU Culinary Arts program and were pied against
ther culinary schools from around the region. The compeon wasart of the annual Nicholas and Company Foodservice Food Show.
As part of the Top Chef-style compeon,
ach team had to prepare a menu and create
ishes using mystery ingredients that wererovided. The teams were then judged on taste,
kill, cleanliness, and team work.
Stacey and Wells had 30 minutes to write
menu that included a soup, appezer, andntree. Each team was given access to a variety
f food items that could be found in a common
itchen and three mystery ingredients that each
eam was required to incorporate. The mystery ingredients for theompeon were a rib eye steak, scallops, and shrimp.
The ISU teams menu included: a cream of asparagus soup, seared
callops with tomato and mushroom rice pilaf and red wine vinaigree,
nd a pan seared rib eye steak with ngerling potatoes and sugar snapeas. Following the creaon of their menu, each team had two hours
o prepare all of the dishes and present them to the judges to receive acore.
Aer a brief and focused planning session, the two ISU stud
went to work to quickly prepare their menu. Each plate was submone at a me to the judges, and the visual display of the plate wa
as important as taste.
It was a fun compeon and I was able to learn about
limitaons and expectaons, said Stacey. The experience I wasto walk away with was amazing. I have a passion for cooking and t
why I competed.
The panel of three judges oered p
and cricism to each team before tabulangnal results. ISUs team received high score
their cleanliness and cooperaon. The judges
noted that the food prepared by Stacey and W
was cooked to perfecon.Wells said, We worked really well toge
during the compeon and communicaon

The Idaho State University Oce of Workforce Training oered
rofessional development instrucon to more than two millionaonal Educaon Associaon (NEA) members in the fall of 2012.
he web-based training was made available naonally through an
greement with NEAs Member Benets Corporaon (MBC).
The online instrucon focused on helping teachers incorporateurrent classroom technology into their lessons. The need to integrate
echnology successfully follows a naonal trend to increase student
uccess by teaching them in the digital environment in which they live.Workforce Trainings professional development oerings were contentpecic and based on teacher selecon. Each lesson was also designed
nd presented by teachers who have a track record of success in their
ontent areas.
The just-in-me webinar concept was developed by ArlenWalker and Je Hough of Workforce Training in response to a need
xpressed by Idaho school districts as part of an 18-month project to
nhance educaon with technology. This is a unique product that
llows teachers to pick the just-in-me training they need, said Marktevens of NEA/MBC. Workforce Training was the sole provider of the
web-based instrucon that was made available through NEA email
nd naonal publicaons.
In the fall of 2011, the J.R. Simplot Company announced that it
would close the doors on three of their potato processing facilies
round the state. That list of closures included the Aberdeen locaonhat employs 800 workers. With Simplots days in Aberdeen numbered,
he Idaho Department of Labor, the Idaho State University College of
echnology, and Simplot teamed up to help the soon-to-be displaced
workers nd a new beginning.At the request of Simplot, the College of Technology organized
support team of ISU departments to make visits to the facility ander their services. Each employee was provided career tesng and
ndividualized counseling at no cost. The goal was to match workers athe facility with opons for addional educaon and training. Similar
utreach eorts were also organized by the College of Western Idaho
o help displaced employees at a dierent Simplot processing facility.
A lot of these employees have not had a tradional educaonn the sense of going to a college or a technical school, said Stuart
ummers, ISU community relaons specialist. Our goal is to work
with Simplot and help these individuals nd a skill, learn a trade, or
aquire more educaon to beat this bad news.
The College of Technology also hosted a career and inform
fair at the Aberdeen facility to meet with employees one-on-onediscuss opons for their future. Employees learned about educa
and career opons that matched their already aquired skill set
Idaho Department of Labor also instructed employees about avai
nancial assistance to help employees go back to school.Each employee was provided informaon about taking the
test, Adult Basic Educaon (ABE), and the English as a Second Lang(ESL) courses. Recruiters also covered the ISU admissions process
provided informaon about entry into programs.Our programs at the College of Technology directly relate
certain type of career or profession, said Summers. Thats wh
great for these employees. Theyve been doing a skill and unders
technology. Each employee can take this knowlege and use it starng point to elevate their future.
In the spring of 2014, Simplot will open a new, consolid
potato processing facility in Caldwell.
