Employee training

Glen Oaks Community College officials have announced the school is providing employee training to Sturgis Molded Products in order to advance employee-processing skills.

Sturgis Molded Products is one of two recipients in St. Joseph County of an Incumbent Worker Training Grant designed to upgrade the skills of its employees. The $36,000, fully funded grant was awarded through Michigan Works and will help companies increase competitiveness through training initiatives with existing employees.

Process employees at the plant began training in early February and will be completing training in Systematic Molding and Master Molder I and II training. All training will be completed in early May.

Sturgis Molded Products is a manufacturer of plastic-injection-molding parts, serving automotive, consumer, medical and nutrition, heavy-truck and appliance industries.
