Tiffany Schlueter - Colleague Testimonial

Position Description

I'm the go-to person who knows the automated spot welder from front to back. I'm the main welder in the shop. I've run the drill, punch and sometimes brake presses, large saws, and CNC Haas Mill.

Parts Produced

I weld and spot weld thousands of parts for refrigeration units. I've welded numerous items around the shop; many tables, scrap bins, and a large scrap rack. I weld hardware onto parts we make for heating and cooling systems.

Also boxes for fire extinguishers that go inside walls. Rod latches that close and open doors on various parts.

Education and Training

I graduated from the apprenticeship program completing 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and 300 hours outside schooling at colleges and online courses. I am now a class A journey worker.
Some of the classes: M-powered program, many hours of online classes, Manufactures Alliance seminars.

I've also spoken at an Apprenticeship Summit about my experience in a metal forming career.

Why Ajax

I didn't need experience, and they are willing to train. Ajax will pay for your schooling, making it easy to earn while learn!

Proud to say I'm the only grandkid to follow in my Grandpa's footsteps. He built machines like the ones I operate. It's a set schedule and most of all, it's not retail.

Advice

You can earn while you learn! You're able to show your friends and family parts that you make out in the real world. It's fun yet challenging. Try it! Your schooling is paid for, and no experience is needed.
