[olug] Employers Wanting RHCSA Trained Candidates

[Matthew G. Marsh]

I will ask a few businesses I know to see if they would be willing to 
say they are interested. I do know at least one is likely but could not 
and likely would not be hiring for a few years at least.

Do you have a link/more information that I can pass on regarding the 
requirements for the business?

Thanks!
