Per our 2008 Labor agreement and in an effort to facilitate testing to enter the Mechanical or Electrical maintenance training program, U. S. Steel and the United Steelworkers have chosen an online standardized Pre-Learner Maintenance Training Program to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to test at a higher level when entering into the Maintenance Training Program. The Program will be administered through the local ICD Program, (USW/USS Granite City Works Learning Center).

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

• Students must register with the ICD Coordinator, Marshall McElroy, for the Pre-Learner Program. (618-451-3337 or gcwlc@mcleodusa.net) Do not use online registration.
• Students must have an Email address.
• Employee must be an active non-maintenance Steelworker
  (retirees and MT’s are not eligible).
• Students must attend class on their own time.
• Students are advised that course completion does not guarantee them a Maintenance Technician position.
• All requirements to become a Learner or Maintenance Technician must still be met.

COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

• A passing score of (85%) and completion of all required classes, labs, and tests.
• All classes must be taken in the order they are given and all coursework must be completed.
• Certificate of completion from ICD and course transcript and performance will be provided to the Company upon “graduation”.

All class work can be completed online at the student’s convenience.  Any student who does not have access to a computer should contact the Learning Center to make arrangements to use Learning Center computers.  If a student needs training in computer basics, it can be provided through the Learning Center.

Steelworkers can contact either their ICD Local Joint Committee Representative or the USW Training Coordinator for additional information.
