ALM Positioners welcomes welding apprentice
- August 27, 2019
- News Release
- Materials Handling
ALM Positioners, Rock Island, Ill., a manufacturer of headstock/tailstock positioner lifts, has announced the addition of Blake Linz as a welding apprentice.
Linz, a senior at Davenport West High School, is part of the Davenport Community School’s High School Welding Registered Apprentice program, new this year. Students in the program complete prerequisite courses through their respective high schools. Upon application and acceptance, they can take advanced courses through Eastern Iowa Community Colleges' Blong Technology Center while working at local companies to become a licensed apprentice.
Linz worked full time at the company during the summer and will work part time during his senior year.
Kevin Toft, president at ALM Positioners, said, “Today, in manufacturing industries, we are seeing a lack of skilled tradespeople coming in as new employees. Our main goal with being a part of this program is to lend our resources to better prepare the students for the future.
"This program will allow these students to get a big head start on their careers. They will learn job specifics, life skills, responsibility, and teamwork.”
