The Illinois Pork Producers Association has announced a livestock apprenticeship program that has recently been registered with the US Department of Labor with the help of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The opportunity will prepare career seekers to succeed in the role of Swine Animal Care Technician. Participating apprentices will receive competitive compensation that will increase with their skill gains as they move through the program. Apprentices will also receive a debt-free education and livestock certificate from five participating community colleges, including Kaskaskia College in Centralia, Lake Land Community College in Mattoon, and Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield.
