Process tech degrees pay off with careers at Lyondell<\/span><\/h2>\n

Eleven San Jacinto College process technology graduates were recently hired as\u00a0LyondellBasell<\/a>\u00a0plant operators, proving they have the training it takes to fill the skills gap in today\u2019s petrochemical industry.A signing ceremony was held in October to celebrate the graduates\u2019 achievements of earning their associate degrees, completing their 15-week I nternships and being offered full-time positions with LyondellBasell. LyondellBasell plays a key role on the San Jacinto College Petrochemical Advisory Council, which ensures students receive training in the exact skillsets requested by industry employers. \u201cArea community colleges, like San Jacinto College, offer us a ready-made talent pool,\u201d said David Gosnay, manager for training and development with LyondellBasell. Gosnay serves on the Petrochemical Advisory Council, offering guidance on the construction of the 145,000-square-foot\u00a0Center for Petrochemical, Energy, and Technology<\/a>, set to open in fall 2019. \u201cThis is a natural fit for us to find great applicants to fill positions within our plant. With the Center opening in 2019, this will change the face of how we recruit up and down the Gulf Coast.\u201d Gosnay added that LyondellBasell only offers internships for positions available, and 95 percent of those who successfully complete their internships are offered full-time jobs. He said another round of internships is currently underway for 25 positions.\u00a0\u201cI highly recommend this career because it provides a great living and stability,\u201d said Joshua Love, recent hire and San Jacinto College graduate. \u201cI notice LyondellBasell is hiring for a lot of positions because of the expansions going on, and people are retiring.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Flickinger earns Governor\u2019s award<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"San Jacinto College Board of Trustees Chair\u00a0Marie Flickinger<\/a>\u00a0has been named a recipient of the 2018 Governor\u2019s Volunteer Award. For her work following Hurricane Harvey last year, Mrs. Flickinger is the recipient of The Governor\u2019s Commission for Women Disaster Relief Assistance Award. After the massive rains that plagued the Houston region last year, Mrs. Flickinger ensured that her community received timely updates and knew where to find resources. She worked with the\u00a0Pasadena Independent School District<\/a>\u00a0and other community supporters to set up a temporary shelter at Dobie High School, which fed and housed more than 1,650 displaced Texans. Mrs. Flickinger also coordinated more than 150 volunteers at the temporary shelter, including volunteers from the American Red Cross. \u201cThis is a tremendous honor for Marie,\u201d said San Jacinto College Chancellor Dr.\u00a0Brenda Hellyer<\/a>. \u201cShe is, and has always been, a champion for the people of this region, and her actions following Hurricane Harvey reflected that. She tirelessly dedicates her life to those around her and to her community, and we are all so very fortunate to have her on our side.\u201d Read more online at sanjac.edu\/article\/flickinger-governor-award<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
