Manufacturing Readiness Program
Are you interested in
working for local manufacturers?
If so, we have a great
opportunity for you…
April 4th, 2013
DARKE COUNTY - Manufacturers are looking for entry level applicants who
possess the skills and qualities that the Darke County Manufacturing
Readiness Training program provides. The training was
developed with input from local companies, and covers a broad range of
subjects relevant to entry-level manufacturing positions including
topics such as print reading, manufacturing processes, quality,
employer expectations, and basic manufacturing math. The class is
one of many new initiatives launched recently as a part of the county’s
workforce development efforts in conjunction with the Partnering for
Progress initiative, Edison State College, and the Greenville Career
Technical Education Center. Two classes have graduated from the
program to this point and have fared very well in terms of job
placement.
According to the Darke County Job Center, which is handling screening
of applicants for the new offering, a drug test will be administered
prior to the class as well as the Test of Adult Education (TABE) which
tests basic reading and math skills. The forty-hour training
program is offered during the day for a one week period, Monday-Friday
8am-5pm. Aside from the class’s curriculum, features of the
manufacturing readiness program include tours of manufacturing
facilities, assistance with interviewing skills, and individual
counseling on a variety of job-search related topics. Furthermore, upon
successful completion of the training, individuals will have the
opportunity to interview with local manufacturers.
The next class will begin mid-May. To schedule your appointment for the
TABE test on January 2, 2013, please contact Sherry Mueller at the
Darke County Job Center, 548-4132, ext. 328.
