🌟 Each month we attempt to attend at least 1 school/college/trade school event. Viking-Cives Midwest, Inc truly cares for students, job seekers, and our communities. We have built several relationships with career service departments, to help connect learning & job opportunities for individuals. We feel that sharing the work we do here sets us up for higher success, and a greater understanding of the young workforce, that is our future. 🥳
We have had a busy start to 2026! 👏
➡️ January 2026: HR Manager, Jennifer D. Barnett attended a mini career fair for welders, at Auto Diesel College, previously known as Lincoln Tech. With this being a smaller event, Jennifer was able to have more personable conversations with students and recent graduates. This facility is top notch. The visit resulted in interviews scheduled with students at our site in Whites Creek, TN.
➡️ February 2026: Aaron Miesner, Engineering Manager, and Jennifer, had a great experience at the Missouri University of Science and Technology spring career fair. They interacted with over hundreds of students from various engineering departments. The campus and program are impressive, showcasing the talent and potential of the next generation of leaders. Most exciting was students that visited our booth at the 2025 Fall career fair, who remembered us and intentionally stopped by to discuss current opportunities at Viking-Cives Midwest. We are glad to make a footprint at such a large event!
➡️ February 2026: After attending a career fair in November 2026 at the Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Jennifer was referred to the Perryville Ranken Tech facility. They hosted a career fair for their approx. 120 students. Jennifer was able to meet with students in the welding & automotive field, and they were very interested in the work we do at Viking-Cives. We are excited to have started a relationship with their Career Services department, to have an additional resource in SEMO with connecting students to a career.
