Midwest Energy Association and Energy Training Network (MEA/ETN; Minnesota) have partnered with Vivid Learning Systems (Richland, Washington) to supply its membership with Electrical Worker and OSHA Training. Vivid has also contracted with MEA to supply utilities with DOT Gas Operator Qualification lessons. This comprehensive program will be delivered through a premier web-training portal for MEA/ETN at www.energyu-vivid.com.

The www.energyu.org site contains more than 70 utility compliance lessons and 70 natural gas operator qualification lessons. The site's training portal delivers several learning management system (LMS) options, including the use of Vivid's eClarus LMS or MEA's Vuepoint LMS, or the availability to use content in a company's existing LMS.
