Powering Up Skills at Lane Transit: Two Sessions of FEE Training Complete!

Lane Transit District recently hosted two successful sessions of Fundamentals of Electrical Electronics (FEE) training for maintenance mechanics — the first held October 16–17, and the second October 20–21. This hands-on course, developed through a partnership between CTW and the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), is part of a U.S. Department of Labor H-1B Skills Training Grant focused on up-skilling transit maintenance workers. The training included Apprentices, Trainers, and Front-Line Workers, and was delivered by CTW’s own Russell Anderson and Kevin Kinoshita of ATU International. Mike Hursh, Lane Transit’s Chief Operations Officer, was also on-site.

Participants from ATU Local 757 responded enthusiastically, sharing that the course filled in important gaps in their understanding of electrical and electronic fundamentals. Attendees left energized, more confident in their technical skills, and better equipped to apply what they learned on the job. ​
