WYE MILLS, MARYLAND — Chesapeake College will hold a free, one-hour online information session on its skilled-trades training programs Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m.

The session is aimed at people looking for a path into a new career. It covers courses, potential jobs and salaries, funding for training and how to register, according to the college's event page.

The college lists 10 programs for the session: CDL truck or bus driving, HVAC technician training, electrician, welding and fabrication, marine service technician, manufacturing, piping and plumbing, license prep for MHIC and general contractor, Maryland home inspection, and virtual design and drafting.

The college's skilled-trades page describes the training as a way to enter the workforce quickly with a certification, or to add skills for a promotion. It lists credit certificates in welding and manufacturing technology alongside noncredit courses such as commercial driver's license, electrical, home improvement (MHIC), HVAC technician and marine service technician, all taught face to face.

Chesapeake College serves Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties. Its main campus is at 1000 College Circle in Wye Mills.

The session is virtual. The college asks people to RSVP on the event page, and questions go to skilledtrades [at] chesapeake.edu. Tuesday's session is the only one now listed on the program's upcoming info-session calendar.
