This training is not for professionals.

Sessions are held monthly in the HESSCO large conference room. HESSCO’s offices are located on One Merchant Street in Sharon about 2 miles north of Gillette Stadium on the corner of US Route 1 North. Every other month, the training will be held from 10 to 11:30, in between it takes place from 4:30 to 6pm.
