Joliet Junior College and LyondellBasell in Morris formed a partnership to provide one student in JJC’s Process Operator Technician training program with a unique and exciting opportunity.

The Morris Complex, operated by LyondellBasell subsidiary Equistar Chemicals, is one of the largest petrochemical facilities in the Midwest. The site created a co-op program to provide on-the-job training for one student in a four-month, paid position with the company. This is the first time that this type of co-op program was offered in the operations area at the Morris Complex.
