Gatlin Education Services cleans up local river
FORT WORTH, Texas – Employees from Gatlin Education Services, the world’s largest provider of online career training courses to colleges and universities, met earlier this month to clean a section of the Trinity River through the Adopt-a-River program.
Organized by the Tarrant Regional Water District, the program encourages individuals, neighborhoods and organizations to help preserve the Trinity River by performing cleanups in assigned areas. Volunteers from Gatlin Education Services adopted one of the river’s 34 sections and cleared trash items collected along its shoreline. The company will maintain their section once a month.
"It's something that's become very near and dear to us, and we wanted to do something as a company," said Mark Lamkin, COO of Gatlin Education Services. "And it doesn't take a lot of people to make a significant impact when you do a project like this."
Currently, there are 11 sections of the river left to adopt. Interested individuals can find out more information at http://www.trwd.com/ or by calling the Tarrant Regional Water District at 817-335-2491.
“It’s important to keep the river clean, and we make it easy to get involved,” said Kari Schmidt with the Tarrant Regional Water District. “All people have to do is show up, clean and then they leave the bags. We take care of it from there on out.”

ATHENS, Ga. - The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education announced today its online industrial training courses are now available for immediate enrollment. The five courses, listed in the Skilled Trades and Industrial category, are offered through the Georgia Center in partnership with Gatlin Education Services.

In each course, students will learn how to safely use facility equipment, analyze production trends, detect potential problems, take corrective actions, and effectively communicate with maintenance technicians and management. The uniquely user-friendly courseware is designed for people who have minimal knowledge of the industry and who may lack expertise in the areas of math, physics and chemistry.

Available at http://www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/is/gatlin, each course is self-paced and accessible anywhere with a computer and Internet connection. Upon successful completion, students will receive the certification they need to apply for entry-level work in heavy industry.
