Show Notes

Recruiting in manufacturing can be difficult. Many students are taught the traditional "Graduate high school and go to college for four years" mentality. While there's nothing wrong with taking that route, how do we capture the attention of young talent? How do we make them see the career trajectory available in welding or fabrication? Lindsey Nix and Angela Kirlin share some actionable tactics and strategies in this episode of MakingSparks!
