What’s the difference between summer patroller and winter patroller training? 🤔 🤔 In the summer patroller course, more emphasis is placed on road repair, construction, crack repair, etc., while in the winter patroller course, more emphasis is placed on keeping the roads safe for the travelling public. Each patroller course covers season-specific topics, such as due diligence, documentation, weather basics, and maintenance standards. So, even if you’ve mastered our Summer Patroller training, it would still be beneficial to enroll in an upcoming Winter Patroller course to better understand the nuances and skills required for all seasons.

A co-op is a great way to give an eager student the chance to learn about your business and support your company. It's also gives you as a company a low risk path to see if an employee can engage with your culture and job expectations before presenting a full time opportunity. We hear regularly that folks need 'experienced' employees with 3-5 years but the only way to build such talent is to support low cost talent pipelines like this to give great people a chance to shine. What we do: provide structure professional coaching and job readiness. What you as a company do: help secure the industry talent pipeline and remove barriers to those transitioning to learn more about you company. Many students receive job offers during their co-op to transition to part time while they study or fulltime offers for when they graduate. This is a not so secret way to find great talent and skip the AI resume checkers. Cory and his team can provide details about the full range of trades people, technicians/technologists, bachelors, and post-grad students seeking work placements to address your business needs. Bring us your staffing goals and we'll find a co-op student or graduate who can help. We also regularly engage with co-op employers to better understand their needs in defining and revising curriculum in our programs.

Today I start my 40th year as a toolmaker. A lot has changed since 1985, but quite a few things remain the same. I followed my father's footsteps in choosing a career. He once told me "If you're a toolmaker, you'll always have a job." He was correct. In all these years, I've been unemployed for a total of about six weeks. At times the work has slowed down quite a bit, other times have been unbelievably busy. Then again, in almost 4 decades, there have been some wild economic cycles. I first worked at Majestic Mold Corp. in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. I was paid $5.50 an hour and thought I'd won the lottery. My biggest thank you goes to Frank Nagel. He was co-owner of Majestic, my mentor, and my teacher. He emigrated to the US in the early 1930s from Germany and became the proudest American I've ever know. Without the foundation he helped me build, I don't think I would have the career I have had. Technology has changed toolmaking. Accuracy and speed being the biggest beneficiaries. As I enter the twilight of my career, I know that none of it would be possible without a firm knowledge of the fundamentals we learn as apprentices. A strong America is possible if we older craftsmen do all we can to pass along our knowledge. That way, long after we're gone, our legacy will endure. #toolmaker #moldmaking #machining
