How important/marketable are the Hazmat skills?
“Anyone dealing with the oil spill will need some level of Hazmat training. And these skills will continue to be in high demand in the future. These skills may be quite transferable to other positions such as working with environmental contractors on emergency response efforts, or in manufacturing facilities, mining facilities, energy plants, or military bases where contamination has occurred,” Hinton said. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, environmental technicians will be among the top 10 fastest growing occupations over the next decade with a projected 30 percent growth. As we continue to become more environmentally conscious, these jobs will continue to grow.
