Rotary held its second Vocation Day for 2012 today. Almost 100 students job shadowed and visited Delta College for the day. The students were introduced individually and gave their name, school and where they went for the day.
Lisa Woodke
Lisa began her remarks by playing a short video that outlined some of the impact that the agricultural and chemical business has on farming and food production business. She went on to speak about the various products offered by Dow.
After the video Lisa spoke about the importance of Agriculture and the relation of science and chemistry, in the form of pest control and fertilizer. She went into some detail about the range of products that Dow provides to agriculture.
Of significance to the students, Lisa talked about jobs that the students might consider and some of the preparation that the need to consider. Dow AgroSciences currently has 232 positions open in locations around the world. 33 of those jobs are in Michigan.
Lisa talked about the value of internships while during the college years as a good way to extend the job shadowing experience and help identify jobs of interest as well as those that might now work.
The importance of a college education was also emphasized. Dow requires a degree and a 3.5 grade average. They do not care so much about what the degree is in as they do in an applicant's interviewing well and their ability to explain why they took the degree that they did.
