Another class has graduated in a Quinte area skills program aimed at training people to work in local industry.
The provincially-funded program called Elevate Plus trains people for positions in manufacturing and food processing.
It is the third graduation in the program run by the Quinte Economic Development Commission with about 15 graduates each time.
QEDC Executive Director Chris King says this is important since the unemployment rate here is well below the provincial average and trained workers are needed.
King says the program will be expanded to go beyond food processing training.
