Metcam adds 30 positions, enters training partnership

Metcam, a fabricator of sheet metal components and assemblies for OEMs, has added 30 new positions to its facility in Forsyth County, Ga., increasing its overall workforce size by 20 percent.

The jobs are available not only for candidates with previous sheet metal fabrication experience, but also for applicants with assembly, paint, hardware, or machine operator experience, as well as the ability to read blueprints.

The company is working with Georgia Quick Start and Lanier Technical College on creating and implementing a training program that supports not only the 30-job expansion, but the continued development of the entire workforce. The training program focuses on quality and productivity enhancement such as lean manufacturing and ISO principles, as well as communication, leadership, and collaboration skills.

Quick Start, an economic development program that provides customized workforce training at no cost to qualified new, expanding, and existing businesses in Georgia, is designing and developing the training material and providing instructors for the classes.
