“We do a lot of on-the-job training. We have some very good senior people in all of our skilled positions, and we have a good track record of being able to train people internally. We look for people with great attitude and drive as well as mechanical and technical smarts. The more of that they have coming in the door, the faster we can get them to where they can really add a lot of value for themselves and the business. “We are part of a local trade organization called the Manufacturers Association of Central Florida. We have done some outreach there and there are a couple of good local technical schools, as well. There’s a welding school where we’ve hosted students from their classes a couple of times a year and we’ve been able to hire a couple of them over the last year or so. We host all the local trade schools, high schools, colleges and have open enrollment days many times a year to find future talent for the business. General Manager, Chris Ahlers
