On Friday, Oct. 7, H&K Group, Inc. held it’s first-ever Career Fair by hosting 42 students and five teachers from North Montco Technical Career Center. Students from diesel, electrical trades, recreational power and welding participated in the informative event and had an opportunity to learn about the many career pathways H&K has to offer.
North Montco students and staff began the morning with a guided bus tour of H&K’s Chalfont Quarry and Asphalt facility. The bus tour, hosted by H&K managers, brought to life the technical operations of the plant, the company’s environmental responsibility, and several general safety precautions crucial to working in this dynamic setting.
Following the tour, the students attended a career fair at H&K’s Corporate Campus in Skippack to speak with representatives from several H&K divisions. H&K staff from welding, carpentry, maintenance, administration, environmental, electrical, quarry, and contracting answered students’ questions and offered first-hand insight into their careers. H&K staff also highlighted the positive work culture and employee benefits of the H&K Group.
During the career fair, students had a chance to operate H&K’s very popular CAT Virtual Training Simulator. While in the training simulator, students could test their skills on similar equipment they saw in motion at Chalfont Quarry.
The experiences and connections made during the day greatly benefit students entering the technical trades. In addition, North Montco anticipates that this exposure will encourage many students to seek employment with the H&K Group. Undoubtedly, partnerships such as this add tremendous value to technical education, the students we serve, and our future workforce.
