The Industry trainees are selecting our fluid power sources to include in the company's training plans. One student being considered as company Hydraulic Trainer. Our graduating number of students has been extremely low due to students getting hired before they graduate. Compa nies and employment services inquire frequently about students close to graduation or have already graduated, however we do not have a large pool of students to offer them. Most students have committed to jobs prior to graduation - sometimes several months before.
Some companies offer signing bonuses to future employees.
Companies who annually offer scholarships attract more students as future employees. We have also had equipment donated to the College in an attempt to pursue employment with companies carrying that product line. Some students have turned down higher starting salaries for a more desirable location. Money doesn't seem to matter. Only the chemical engineering grads were higher.
