Alcoa hopes to recruit more than 20 apprentices through 2020 apprenticeship recruitment campaign

Alcoa Corporation, the world’s eighth largest aluminium producer, has reportedly launched its 2020 apprenticeship recruitment campaign. Through this campaign, which will run until July 15, Alcoa hopes to recruit more than 20 apprentices.

Four-year apprenticeships are on offer in the trade categories – mechanical fitters, fabricators/welders, heavy duty plant mechanics, and industrial electrical instrumentation technicians.

Alcoa’s commitment to providing training and various job opportunities during an employee’s career add to the value apprentices place on the programme. For instance, Secret Harbour resident Paige Calvert is a first-year electrical instrumentation apprentice at Alcoa’s Kwinana Alumina Refinery.

Human Resources director Kath Soumanis said the company seeks people who are motivated, positive, and willing to learn.

“We look for people with demonstrated problem solving and communication skills and who like to broaden their horizons by being involved in their communities and other activities,” she said.

She also said Alcoa offers a diverse and inclusive work environment suitable for women, people from different backgrounds, and those with a variety of skills and experiences.
