Through a sector partnership between MAGNET, Cuyahoga County, and Tri-C, about a dozen welding students with WorkKeys Scores and American Welding Society (AWS) certifications in Stick, MIG, and TIG, will be available for internship opportunities with Northeast Ohio companies at the end of March 2016.
While the students are available for internships within any industry sector, companies that manufacture products for the Transportation, Biomedical, or Advanced Energy industries may receive up to 100% reimbursement for the internships through a Federal Make it in America (MIIA) grant made available through the Medina County Workforce Development Board. This covers a maximum straight-time wage of up to $15/hour for up to 400 hours, and students must complete their internships by September 30, 2016.
If you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Pete Bednar at MAGNET at [email protected] or 440-781-6449. In addition, for more information about how interns can benefit your organization please visit: http://www.manufacturingsuccess.org/internships-for-companies/.
