Hyundai returns to T'ville to recruit more ASCC grads

Hyundai reps recruit on ASCC's Thomasville campus.
Representatives from Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (HMMA) in Montgomery visited the Alabama Southern Thomasville Campus recently to recruit graduates from the colleges' advanced technology programs.

HMMA's visit to Alabama Southern is a part of the recruiting process at selected community colleges and technical colleges across the state. The Montgomery based plant plans to produce approximately 300,000 vehicles per year. The plant has been referred to "as the most advanced manufacturing facility on the North American continent."

"Alabama Southern has one of the most impressive and technologically advanced training facilities that we have had the privilege of visiting in the state," said Anthony Johnson, Human Resources Manager at HMMA. "We have five graduates from the program here and they are doing great! We are back today to try to recruit more! We need individuals who are multi-craft and highlyskilled as well as motivated to learn and progress throughout our plant. Alabama Southern is definitely preparing students thoroughly to work in the current and future technical workforce."

HMMA representatives talked to Alabama Southern students about the requirements and expectations of an employee at their facility. Future employees need to have the ability to problem solve, be technically capable and multi-crafted individuals. Students were also given the opportunity to test for jobs at Hyundai.

"We are interested in students who are technically capable and talented individuals and we have found them at Alabama Southern," said Troy Pinkey, Assistant Manager of Plant Engineering at HMMA in Montgomery. "We need well trained individuals to help us get to our desired production level, and we believe that Alabama Southern has the capacity and the potential to develop some of the best trained individuals in the state. We want to encourage students to study and learn as much as possible and take advantage of a great learning environment."
