(Danville, Va.) — Danville Community College has been selected as one of three state supported schools to provide training for construction workers who will build the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

Details of the agreement have yet to be finalized, but the Laborers’ International Union of North America says one- to two-week courses with an emphasis on workplace safety will be offered at the Virginia Western, New River and Danville community colleges in the coming weeks. The pipeline project is expected to need 2,000 workers in Virginia, where it will run through the Roanoke and New River valleys.

Assigned workers will be existing members of the union’s Roanoke chapter and those identified by community colleges. Under the agreement, at least a fourth of hired workers will come from western Virginia.
