The document provides a list of skill advancement training courses offered in Cape Girardeau, Missouri during the winter of 2011-2012. It notes that while the KC and STL District Councils have merged, their training trust funds remain separate for now due to legal issues. As a result, members taking courses outside their fund's area will be charged a surcharge. The list then details various safety, technical, and computer certification courses taking place between December 2011 and April 2012, including dates, locations, costs, and requirements. It also provides information on online computer training courses and a Facebook page for apprentices and journey workers.
