If you have a senior who is about to graduate and isn't quite sure where to go after high school, here is a great career opportunity with Cooper Tire in their Mold Technology & Engineering Advancement Program. Here are the highlights: Graduates would be working at Cooper's Mold Technology facility in Tall Timbers that is focused on designing the molds that are used to produce tires. Graduates would work 18-24 hours per week while rotating through the different departments in the facility. They could expect to earn at least $15.00/hr. to start and receive increases during their time there. Graduates could also be working toward a two-year degree of their choice (engineering, etc.) at a local two-year or trade school (the graduate chooses the school). Cooper would pay up to $8,000/year toward the graduate's education. After completing the two-year degree, the graduate would be committed to working at Cooper for two additional years. The BEST news? The graduate would have a high probability of graduating debt-free with a highly valuable degree, a good salary, and a full-time job! If any current seniors have a strong work ethic, enjoy math, and like to solve problems, this could be a great opportunity. Those who are interested can apply at https://careers.coopertire.com/job/Findlay-OH-Mold-Operations-Advancement-Program-Internship-OH-45839/816066000/. If seniors have any questions about this opportunity or need help identifying a post-high school career path, updating a résumé, preparing for an interview, etc., they can visit bit.ly/VBcareeradvising (case-sensitive) to set up a meeting so they can be fully prepared for their post-high school lives.
