Mornin' All!
Parts are flowing at Ford Motor Company, stock is up and cant seem to make enough parts.
Found this out this morning for those that live in Michigan:
Are you interested in learning an apprenticeable skilled trade? UAW-Ford is offering a 6-week course in Welding Certification Training for qualified applicants.
•6 Week Accelerated Course
•No experience needed
•Must be at least 18 years old
•Must have High School Diploma
•Must be a resident of Michigan
•Training hours are 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday thru Friday
•Participants are not paid during training
•This is not an opportunity for employment with Ford Motor Company
•Upon completion Michigan Works will work with each graduate for job placement
•Participants must go through pre-qualification process for training funds
For more information email [email protected] with a valid name & contact number.
It says this isnt a job opportunity with FoMoCo, but Ford isnt going to pay for it if they dont intend to hire, so take advantage Michiganders!
btw, UAW-Ford, UAW-GM, UAW-Chrysler welders make $33hr plus tools.

Good lord man. Cat pays our new welders only 16.50 an hour with a 2 dollar retention bonus and they top out at 22.50 after 3 years I think I'll move to Michigan
Morning boys!
My baby girl started kindergarten today and I think I have a permanent lump in my throat
Our skilled trades dont have tiers the way our production people do. Our production tops out at around $22 and change on tier 2 right now, so it seems like Cat has tier'd wages like we do.
Our welders dont do production welding, they do specialty welding in the house for construction, machine repair, building maintenance and any internal welding that needs to be done. We have six welders per shift (4 shifts here) and they're looking for more across the company.
I'm willing to bet they're looking to train welders to weld aluminum as they're shifting a lot of body panels to aluminum.
