A hard sales job.One of the hardest jobs in this industry has to be that of the recruitment director for Ferris State's rubber engineering degree program. Not only does this person have to sell the benefits of a higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. in general, but they also have to specifically sell the rubber industry as a career choice to 17- and 18-year olds. I can tell you that careers in the rubber industry aren't aren't Contraction of are not. See Usage Note at ain't. aren't are not aren't be even on the radar screen of high school seniors. Ferris State added robber to its plastics engineering degree program in 1998 with the opening of the National Elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. Center and has had moderate success. They have graduated 25 in that time, and most have jobs in the rubber industry. This might not seem like a large number or graduates, but given today's economic climate coupled with the cost of education, getting 25 freshmen to graduate in five years is not too bad. But they can do more. This is why the upcoming rubber industry career fair at Ferris will be interesting. Now the pressure to sell the industry falls squarely square·ly adv. 1.

The Rubber Manufacturers Association, with a grant from the National Association of Manufacturers, is sponsoring the fair on October 17 at Ferris State. The RMA (RealMedia Architecture) See RealMedia. expects between 150-175 high school seniors to take part in the program. This is a chance for RMA members to state their case for career choice to a mainly disinterested Free from bias, prejudice, or partiality.

We're competing with every basic industry, not just the high profile, high tech ones, but also the here-today-gone-tomorrow ventures that attract the next generation of the best and the brightest. This is a tough sell, and one of the reasons is that some manufacturers have adopted a here-today-gone-tomorrow philosophy when it comes to manufacturing their products. These are the ones who make me news and taint taint an unpleasant odor and flavor in a human foodstuff of animal origin.

Many view the industry as one in which a career doesn't seem to be an option. But you and I know that a career in the rubber industry can be rewarding and fulfilling. But we have to stop telling this to ourselves. Rubber manufacturers can get involved in selling the industry to the next generation, and in return get the skilled help they have been demanding. |
