Northwest-Shoals Community College Prepares Students for Career

August 28, 2014

Florence, AL–The Northwest-Shoals Community College recently opened a new program for students to be trained in the injection molding process. The program will fully train students on how to maneuver molding systems to produce the parts needed. This program will give students hands-on training about injection mold setting, processing, modeling, hydraulics, and pneumatics and robotics programming. Upon completion of the injection molding program students will be able to step right into careers in the plastics manufacturing industry.

This is a much needed program as many companies struggle to find well trained candidates to fill their open positions. This program will offer students an educational path that leads directly into a career. This program has been designed to feed graduates into companies in the surrounding area to help fill the void of skilled labor. Tony Zajacz, TASUS plant manager, said “Right now, our workforce is starving for skilled labor.”

TASUS Sponsors Building of Water Wells in Kenya Africa

August 25, 2014

Bloomington, IN–TASUS has shared many stories about employees volunteering time or donating to help local causes. Today we are proud to share our story about helping people who live in a world that is far from that which we are accustomed to. TASUS helped sponsor the building of water wells in small rural Kenyan villages. These water wells will help provide local families with readily available clean water in or around their villages.

Prior to the construction of these water wells families in these small villages had to walk miles and carry buckets of water back. Hearing stories of this struck Director of Sales Carey Marks so he began looking for ways to help build wells in the villages. Marks was able to find inexpensive solutions to build the wells and began helping raise money. TASUS helped sponsor the construction and within 15 months three wells were finished. Marks was excited to have been able to help these villages and looks forward to working on more wells for other villages in need.

If you are interested in donating money towards the construction of future water wells contact Cmarks@tasus.com . Checks can be made out to KNMI (Kim Norris Ministries International) for any amount you wish to donate. Write in the memo section of the check “Water Wells for Africa”. It is fully tax deductible.
