Moving Forward:
First and foremost we want to assure everyone that your Penn-Ohio Chapter isn’t going anywhere. We remain diligent in our efforts to set up remote training opportunities (TBA) and preparation for the dates past July 1st, 2020. Our mission to provide up to date industry training has not changed and you and our business partners are a huge part of that!
From now until July 1st we will be producing webinars to replace face to face training sessions. We have asked our business partners to partner with us on non-MSO specific training that they can present as a webinar from their remote location. This is an opportunity to see demonstrations of the products that you would normally have seen at our Vendor Show, in action, combined with relevant industry training topics.
If you were planning to compete in our annual Cable Tec Games please note that we are doing everything we can to reschedule after July 1st 2020. Keep practicing!
This is a great time to catch up or start new online training classes and industry certifications. Our scholarships are still available, find out more here https://www.sctepennohio.org/scholarship
Stay Safe.
