Safety Training

High Plains Technology Center has partnered with the Energy Training Council (ETC) to offer nationally recognized safety training for men and women working in all energy industry services. These courses are designed to help workers be better prepared to do their jobs and to enable employers to provide a more safe and healthful working condition by having a well-trained workforce as team participants.
