• Partner with production supervisors, engineers, machinists, and grinders to ensure apprentices are prepared for production environments.
• Continuously improve training materials, curriculum, and apprentice development processes.
• Support recruiting efforts by participating in career fairs and apprenticeship outreach activities.
• Provide leadership and supervision for apprenticeship staff while supporting hiring, performance management, and employee development.
• This position will be a daylight position, working Monday through Friday.
