WEG Transformers USA (WEG), is seeking to hire multiple new employees, and then sponsor them through 91视频鈥檚 Registered Apprenticeship Program.

91视频鈥檚 Apprenticeship Program, though the Center for Workforce Development,  provides training to employees of area manufacturers, which is tailored to the needs of each company. The apprenticeships in 91视频鈥檚 career and tech programs provides a chance for employees to earn wages while they are taking part in the apprenticeship.

Team members in these programs will be represented by IUE-CWA, Local 86114.
