Hottest Jobs For Week Of 3/05/2007


Hottest Job of the Week – Machinist!

This week it’s not so much who is the hottest employer as it is the hottest career choice. Recently the number of machinist and factory positions advertised for has taken off to levels not seen since 2001. In this weeks Employment Guide there are factory and machinist jobs at Chelsea Building Products in Oakmont, Royston Laboratories Division in Blawnox, Melampy Manufacturing, Randstad and Steel Built Corp. This is in line with predictions over the past few years that the supply of workers training for these positions, especially Machinists, was not going to adequate in the Pittsburgh area to meet demand. Fortunately for our area, there is an initiative that has been around for a few years now called New Century Careers, helping job seekers acquire training in the skills necessary to be a machinist. Machinist jobs are not the same as they were 30 years ago. These now involve computer skills and usually business casual work attire. Not the “dirty – greasy” job it used to be long ago! If you want more information from New Century Careers, Manufacturing 2000 on their training programs their local Pittsburgh number is 800-822-9337. Their programs are free and take less than 6 months.
