Dade Moeller and EnergX Partner to Expand Reach of Worker Safety Training

RICHLAND, Wash. – U.S. Department of Energy contractors Dade Moeller and EnergX announce their new partnership, aimed at meeting the demand for high-quality industrial hygiene and occupational safety training across the country. The collaboration promotes seven courses offered at shared facilities in Oak Ridge, Tenn.; Gaithersburg, Md.; Las Vegas, Nev.; and Richland, Wash.

The forward-thinking partnership arose from a mutual respect for each other's expertise, experience, and reputation, as well as a shared commitment to excellence. By pooling their faculty, facilities, and marketing resources, Dade Moeller and EnergX can expand their client bases while keeping costs to students low.

"Partnering with EnergX makes good business sense," said Dade Moeller President David McCormack. "EnergX is well respected in Oak Ridge, where we currently are expanding, as well as here locally at Hanford, and, by working together, we will positively impact each other's breadth and depth."

"By leveraging Dade Moeller's solid reputation, we will reach new customers with our well-honed worker safety courses," said EnergX President and CEO Anthony Buhl. "We are pleased to partner with a company that shares our vision for ensuring capable, qualified, safety-minded workforces."

A four day class to get a 10-hour card.  It must be a frenzied pace.

Hey now....it's a 4 day course in Vegas away from Momma, learning how to hook up, uh, I mean check out some of those Jr. Techs...uh, checking her harness, at Basic Rigging?

Yes, very much a career enhancer - for the guys selling the course.  the OSHA 10 hour is available from the comfort of your home at the tab above.
Probably a lot cheaper too. 
The other courses are very likely to be available locally or online as well.

I wish these blatant advertisements would be paid advertisements, and not in the form of a "joint press release".

Thanks for the reply. I posted our press release here because I thought our new partnership with EnergX might be of interest to the NukeWorker community. I had previously received guidance from the founder of NukeWorker that posting our Dade Moeller press releases on the Nuclear News Forum would be the appropriate place for them.

I apologize if these posts are being seen negatively as "blatant advertisements," as that was not my intention. I will be more thoughtful in the future when deciding which of our press release to post here on NukeWorker.

For anybody wishing to stay abreast of the goings-on at Dade Moeller, we do post all of our press releases on our website at www.moellerinc.com/press-releases.php. We also are on Twitter (www.twitter.com/DadeMoeller), Facebook (www.facebook.com/DadeMoeller), and LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/company/dade-moeller-&-associates).

Actually, the previous ones didn't really strike me in any particular way that was troublesome.  Maybe this one just seems like you're selling something.  Which is okay too, I guess.  We all need to make a buck.  If Mike doesn't mind, why should I?
But, I might suggest at least a few bucks for a Gold Membership would be a nice gesture.

Thanks for the idea. I agree. I'll see what I can do.

Take care,
Tori

A banner ad would be an even nicer gesture.

Haha, yep, I was checking those out!
