Sinclair\u2019s job forecast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recession proof jobs may be tough to find in this economy, but some job fields are doing better than other in Dayton, according to Massie.<\/p>\n

Massie has found four areas that are in high demand locally for Sinclair Associate Degrees and Career Program Certificates. These are computer aided manufacturing, automation and control technology with robotics, supply chain management and most jobs connected to health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal employers can\u2019t get enough of computer aided manufacturing jobs because they are very specialized positions,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n

Massie believes growing business in Dayton will have jobs that will require skills in computer aided manufacturing and CNC technology.<\/p>\n

Sinclair\u2019s automation and control technology with robotics program builds knowledge in the application of electrical and mechanical skills for developing, installing, programming and troubleshooting the complex machinery found in the modern manufacturing environment.<\/p>\n

Sinclair offers a 47-credit hour program certificate in supply chain management (SCM). Students gain a basic understanding of SCM processes to prepare them for SCM positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere could be hundreds of Wright-Patt employees ready to retire with SCM jobs that will eventually need to be filled,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n

Steven R. Main is the director of rehabilitation at PeopleFirst Rehabilitation, located at Dayton Heart Hospital. Main said he is interested in hiring as many Sinclair graduates in the health industry as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can get a job anywhere, anytime in the health care field today,\u201d Main said.<\/p>\n

Displaced workers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinclair is attempting to aid displaced workers in returning to class.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Sinclair) is doing all we can to help these men and women find success in changing with the times to replace what they have lost,\u201d Massie said.<\/p>\n

Working closely with the Financial Aid office, Career Services is involved with the process of assisting the area\u2019s displaced workers. Massie said since the spring of 2008\u2014when the closing of Moraine\u2019s General Motors plant was announced\u2014the influx of displaced workers at Sinclair took a steady climb.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve basically become almost an unemployment office for these guys,\u201d Massie said. \u201cWe were once a nut-and-bolt manufacturing community. Now with all the layoffs and closings, the community as a whole has had to change more into technological manufacturing, which means retraining and educating those hoping to make the transition more smooth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing our part to keep Miami Valley workers in the Miami Valley and assist in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
