Michelin School to Work Program

Are you a graduating senior going straight to work? Do you enjoy working with your hands and tinkering with things? Do you have a good work ethic, and are you willing to learn?



Then this opportunity might be for you!
Here are some things to consider about Michelin's School to Work Program:
1. Can you handle working 12-hour swing-shifts?
2. A lot of standing and able to lift up to 50 lbs?
3. Willing to work overtime as needed?
4. Willing to work weekends?
5. Willing to work in an empowered, quality-driven environment?

If you think you can handle the list above then you might be a great fit for Michelin's School to Work Program which is focused on Michelin's Production area.

This is a great way to start a career with great benefits and room to grow.

If interested, please complete the Michelin School to Work Program Interest Form, and we will be in touch with more information.
