Medical laboratory training program planned for fall
A joint plan by Southern Illinois University's Vocational Technical Institute and area hospitals, with the Illinois Manpower Development and State Employment Service, aims to train laboratory technicians starting in September. The program includes lectures at the VII campus and will cover transportation allowances with no student cost. Applicants need a high school diploma or GED and should apply through local employment offices in Herrin, Murphysboro, West Frankfort, or Taoinin Ant. The course spans one year and targets graduates pursuing science, with selection from high schools. Revival services will run nightly at 7:20 p.m. through June 2 at Murdale Baptist Church led by Eddie Olds.
