I have several job descriptions for degreed graduates…Buyer, Customer Service Rep and Program Coordinator. (Customer Service Rep does not require a degree, but it is preferred.) We also would have an interest in graduates of the Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology program. These grads could fit into Production and Maintenance Management training positions. We would also consider intern programs in that degree area.
