(MARSHALL) \u2013 More than 170 students from Texas State Technical College attended Thursday\u2019s Industry Job Fair and talked to employers about a variety of career fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campus had its largest job fair yet for students, with 39 companies from Louisiana and Texas in attendance. Most of the companies specialize in engineering and manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe companies right now are needing people in those fields,\u201d said Hannah Luce, a TSTC Career Services coordinator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luce said several students had job interviews at the event, with one student receiving a job offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnemployment is down, so all these companies are needing employees,\u201d Luce said. \u201cThey realize the product we offer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

J.P. Arrington, a human resources manager at Norris Cylinder in Longview, said the company was looking for lathe operators, electricians, mechanics, materials handlers and other positions. He said it was the first time the company, which makes high-pressure acetylene and steel cylinders, attended a TSTC Industry Job Fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, he was happy with the results.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI found some really good prospects there,\u201d Arrington said. \u201cI have been really impressed with your college. I have hired three of your students in the last three months. They have been fantastic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Crown Equipment Corp. of Arlington was also represented at the job event. The Ohio-based company specializing in forklift parts and production offers tuition reimbursement to TSTC\u2019s Diesel Equipment Technology certificate and associate degree graduates from the Marshall campus who are hired as technicians.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe caliber of students is just like any at TSTC \u2013 great,\u201d said Joe Razza, a Crown regional recruiter. \u201cThey were prepared, asked good questions and were vested in what it was that we had to say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The next Industry Job Fair for students at TSTC in Marshall will be on Thursday, March 28.<\/span><\/p>\n
