Beyond the Career Fair
One way to help educate students is to participate
in career fairs, but Thorne recommends
that integrators should look beyond
those. " We need to get into the early stages
of industrial-art programs in high schools,
[for example], " he says. " We've got to get to
the guidance counselors in high schools to
talk to them about what we do. "
It doesn't have to be time consuming,
either, Thorne hastens to add. Going out to
a local high school once a quarter is all that
it takes to help get the message out there.

learning about the same equipment that
the company uses every day. ECCO has
also found a way to make the equipment
a recruiting tool: It puts the company logo
and contact information right on it.

participate in career fairs. ECCO participates
in these, as the photos above and

president Matt Thorne emphasizes that
integrators should look beyond those.
Getting into early stages of industrial-art
programs in high schools is one example.
