Employee Spotlight: Skilled Trades

This month, we’re celebrating Manufacturing Day every day with virtual panels that spotlight our exciting work, amazing employees and DENSO Spirit to encourage others to pursue careers in manufacturing.

On October 8, we hosted a webinar on Skilled Trades that discussed the critical role these jobs play in manufacturing. One of the panelists, Tommy Cole, graduated from high school just three years ago and is now part of DENSO’s three-year apprenticeship program.

After getting a degree in industrial maintenance from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Knoxville, Tommy was offered an apprenticeship with DENSO. Before joining our team, Tommy thought working in manufacturing would mean doing the same thing every day. Now he knows that’s far from the truth and has found a real sense of accomplishment in his work.

Check out what else Tommy had to say about starting a career in manufacturing here! And thank you, Tommy, for showing your DENSO Spirit through continued collaboration, communication, teamwork, and meeting challenges as they come!

If you know someone looking to quickly grow their production or skilled trades careers, we’re hiring! Send them to DENSOcareers.com and apply for open opportunities.
