New Marcellus Shale Webinars
Share Industry Experience

This summer, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s Office of Outreach Services will hold a series of six 90-minute web-based sessions in the popular “Your Business and Marcellus Shale” series, beginning June 2.

This is the third set of webinars being sponsored by Outreach Services and the Bradford Office of Economic and Community Development. It will focus on “Building Business Connections.”

Sessions take place from 8 to 9:30 a.m. June 2 and 16, July 7 and 21 and Aug. 4 and 18 in Room 162 of Swarts Hall on the Pitt-Bradford campus. There is a cost of $15 per webinar, which includes continental breakfast. Attend all six for $80.

The series will help entrepreneurs and established small- and medium-sized businesses understand and reply to Marcellus Shale-related business opportunities. After a 60-minute webinar, there will be a 30-minute question-and-answer session.

Individual session topics are: June 2, “Working with Industry – Experience in the Southwest”; June 16, “Working With Industry – Experience in the Northern Tier”; July 7, “Safety Training and Doing Business With Industry”; July 21, “Business Owners’ Experiences With Industry – Natural gas Employee-related Service Companies”; Aug. 4, “Business Owners’ Experiences With Industry – Industry-related Service Companies”; and Aug. 18, “Barnett and Haynesville Business Owners’ Experiences.”

Ann Robinson, director of the Business Resource Center at Pitt-Bradford, said that this series is different from the two offered in the fall and winter “because it is focusing on businesses that have already worked closely with the natural gas companies and who have real-world experience to share.”
