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).

• 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.
