TRAINING
WESTAR Council:
Our Training Program works closely with air pollution control agencies in fifteen western states to understand priority training needs, and to identify, design, develop and deliver needed, cost-effective, responsive, and western-states-focused training courses targeted at meeting these priority needs. WESTAR’s educational opportunities enable our member air quality professionals to quickly learn new job responsibilities and maintain, enhance, and update skills in their existing areas of responsibility to effectively and efficiently serve the needs of their constituencies.
WESTAR Training Program offers in-person training courses, and synchronous online learning. The training courses included in the calendar are confirmed for CY2025. Additional courses will be added as logistics are confirmed. For more information, please contact Jeff Gabler, Training Manager at (503) 744-0486 or email Jeff Gabler
