Montana State University receives $354,000 to help train weatherization workers across U.S.

Montana State University received a $354,000 grant Wednesday to help develop a television network that trains weatherization workers across the nation.

Celebrating with cake, politicians and partners, Michael P. Vogel, director of the Montana Weatherization Training Center at MSU http://www.weatherization.org/ and professor with MSU Extension, said people who weatherize homes and businesses these days do more than caulk cracks and install weather stripping. Weatherization is an exacting profession that involves science, theory and a variety of skills. If done properly, it saves energy and money, and makes homes more comfortable. It makes the occupants safe and healthy.

"Today’s it’s a profession," Vogel said. "It’s technical. There’s diagnostic work."

The expansion specifically comes in the form of a high-quality television show available over the Internet http://www.weatherization.org/.
