CAREER PRESENTATION
Students
at the Hobart Institute were recently treated to two
presentations designed to enhance their knowledge of career
opportunities.
MEMBERSHIP
Bryan
Worley, Chairman of the Dayton, Ohio, Section of the American
Welding Society provided the students with information and
benefits of membership to include the AWS JobFind Service
available at http://www.aws.org/jobfind/
This service enables job seekers to post their resume or
apply directly for open positions with prospective employers.
Bryan
also explained the networking advantages provided by the
American Welding Society and how student members can benefit by
attending meetings and interacting with peers and welding
employers. One of
these opportunities is presented when the Dayton
Section of AWS in cooperation with The
Southern Ohio Forge & Anvil (SOFA) association holds a
joint meeting annually to introduce members to blacksmithing
through discussion, demonstrations and hands-on opportunities.
Other monthly meetings are held at various companies in the area
providing the opportunity to tour facilities and broaden the
knowledge of members.
RECRUITMENT
A
recruitment presentation by Wayne Petzke, Human Resources
Manager with K&M
Machine-Fabricating, Inc. increased the students’
awareness of employment opportunities at K&M in Cassopolis,
Michigan. Cassopolis
is a rural, agricultural community located in southwestern
Michigan just to the north of Elkhart and South Bend, Indiana.
Wayne explained that K&M is the largest, privately owned
employer in their area of the state. A leader in the fabricating and machining of major components
for the railroad, energy, construction, earthmoving, mining
equipment, machine tool, and special machinery industries,
K&M fabricates large parts utilizing gas metal arc and flux
cored arc welding. During the two shifts within the fabrication shop, employees
are currently working 50-hour weeks with an opportunity for
overtime. A full
line of benefits are also available.
Interested students who are completing their training in
the near future were granted one-on-one interviews following the
presentation.
“We have a
continuing need for welders,” Wayne stated.
“Any Hobart graduates may forward their resumes to
me.”
