Employers from NE Gather at MCC to Recruit for Career Opportunities
MANCHESTER, NH— Dozens of company representatives and recruiters from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine will be on campus April 27th from 4PM to 6PM as part of the Automated Manufacturing Job Fair. There is high demand for these jobs throughout the region and Manchester Community College is honored to invite current high school students, college students and adults who are seeking jobs in this field. The hope is to entice people to fill the growing need for workers. Technicians are needed in a variety of fields including advanced manufacturing, electrical engineering, robotics, mechatronics and 3D printing to name a few.
“These are modern, high-paying jobs and there are several businesses looking for help,” says Dan Larochelle, Chair of the Automated Manufacturing Technology program at MCC. “Our programs at MCC are designed to train graduates to meet these specific needs. Recently, we added an automated manufacturing certificate to help students move rapidly into a job.”
Recruiters at the job fair will be on site seeking to hire and train workers and help enroll them in relevant training programs if needed. Among those confirmed to attend include Envision, Hitchiner Manufacturing, New Balance, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Bath Iron Works, Eversource and Sig Sauer.
Automated Manufacturing Technology refers to flexible manufacturing systems that use innovative technologies to improve both production processes and product quality. The MCC Automated Manufacturing Technology program prepares students to work with integrated systems, such as robotic automation, modular work cells, machining centers, welding stations, and mechanical and electrical technologies. Students explore how each technology supports the full product lifecycle, from initial design and production to final delivery.
