The October 6th guest speakers for Workforce Wednesday, in College and Career Readiness classes, were Mr. Matt Ruth, VP of Operations and Mr. Johnny Anderson, Director of Human Resources for Albany Industries. These speakers provided students a wealth of information concerning the soft skills needed to be successful on any job. They specifically covered attendance, being on time, reliability, dependability, and taking initiative to go above and beyond on any job and how it increases your chances of upward mobility/promotions. Additionally they covered the importance of a good resume and cover letter. They shared about local workforce needs in advanced manufacturing in Northeast MS and our local area, and shared the mission of Albany Industries and information about their company. Students were also given time for a question and answer session.
They surprised 3rd block CCR students with a pizza party and the students greatly enjoyed it. Many thanks to Mr. Ruth, Mr. Anderson and all our local business and industry representatives who take time out of their busy schedules to share with our students.
