Ormet to Add 100 Northern Panhandle Jobs

Saw some great news today, so what better reason for adding the first new post to our TMHOV jobs blog. From The Intelligencer regarding Ormet:

HANNIBAL – The Ormet Corporation has announced its plans to restart two idled potlines at its Hannibal plant, meaning the company will be adding more than 100 jobs at the Monroe County site.

The announcement comes more than a year after the aluminum producer warned that the entire facility was in danger of closing down until the company secured supplies to keep four of the plant’s six potlines running.

…[T]he planned restart…is expected to happen in the first quarter of 2011, after the smelter is brought to full capacity.

Ormet employs about 800 union workers and several more in management positions. The new job openings will be filled through layoff recalls and new hirings, the release says.

“We plan to produce about 80,000 metric (tons) of additional metal next year with this restart,” Mike Tanchuk, Ormet’s president and CEO, stated. “While this is a very small amount of aluminum on a worldwide scale, this step is important to Ormet. We are very pleased to deliver this good news to about 100 families during the holiday season.”

Great news!

Ohio Valley Job Fair coming to Wheeling, WV March 31

Justin Seibert — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:30:03 +0000

Last year the Regional Economic Development Partnership – or RED as we like to call them – put on two separate job fairs at Wheeling Island, drawing thousands of job seekers. In conjunction with the Wheeling Area Chamber of Commerce, the first job fair is set for 2009.

On Tuesday, March 31, all job seekers in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania are welcome to come to the Troy Theater at Wheeling Jesuit University between 11AM and 7PM. This Wheeling, WV job fair is being sponsored by the WORKFORCE WV Career Center and Wheeling Jesuit University.

If you’re currently between jobs or if you’re looking for a new career, come on down. Bring a resume and dress sharp. We’ll have plenty of Ohio and West Virginia employers in attendance and looking for candidates.

A Note to OH, PA, & WV Employers

If you are interested in reserving a booth, please contact Karri Mulhern, Workforce Manager, Regional Economic Development Partnership at 304.232.7722 or kmulhern@redp.org. Booths are available for very reasonable costs and the number of participating businesses is limited.

TakeMeHomeOhioValley is excited to have a booth at the job fair the Regional Economic Development Partnership is co-coordinating Tuesday. This is a great resource for employers and job seekers alike. Although it’s too late for any new employers to sign up, for this one, the demand has been so strong for both of the first two job fairs that I imagine more are in store down the road.

Over 1,500 Ohio Valley job seekers showed up to the last job fair in January, so be sure to get there early.

Where: Wheeling Island Hotel – Casino – Racetrack

When: Tuesday, July 8 from 11AM – 7PM

If you come by to meet with many of the largest Ohio and West Virginia employers in our area, stop by our booth and say hi! Make sure you bring your resume.
