Glad to hear this retraining. Tell the story to diehard coal folks inWV!

Somebody show this success story to JoeManchinWV and WestVirginia? Chang is good!

If these same people had stopped shouting 'lock her up' long enough they would have heard Hillary suggest this. 🙄

Very nice, but can we put the fiber optic cables and broadband into a power plant in order to heat homes?

So coal is still shit?

anoorani Any idea why the coal miners lost their jobs.?

👍🇺🇸

Isn't this what both President Obama & Secretary Clinton proposed? Retraining coal workers? Meanwhile the R's screaming about the death of coal jobs at 44's hands. Help me Rhonda.

Progress with a purpose - great example of 21st Century occupation shift. Bravo! Spread the word throughout the industry and revitalize American towns. Keep skill development relevant and all profit.

Well I have news for you... coal is dying a very slow death. Good move on retrain live healthier lives

that's all we need, is MORE racists and morally bankrupt trumpanzis running around inside our tech infrastructure, creating conflicts of interest, targeting minorities and breaching security infosec OpKKK

I heard this story this morning. It was interesting but to be honest by the end I was worried all of those workers would end up jobless again once all the fiber is installed.

Good clean fiber optic cables......

Great retraining and probably much safer than coal mining.

Wish this would happen a lot more.

Now that is progress.

They would have all been retrained for future green energy jobs much sooner if they listened to Hillary. But NO! They wanted their ears tickled and Trump happily lied!

The future is technology. It is beyond me why America, especially Americans in red states, seem so fixated with jobs of the past. We live in a different time.
