Looking for Talent? Post an Entry-Level Job Today & Meet Candidates at the Hire Me Corner at MCAA23

March 17, 2023

Over 125 Students from close to 30 chapters are registered for MCAA23. They will soon be scoping out MCAA’s GreatFutures Job Board for companies they would like to meet with in Phoenix to discuss internships and entry-level full-time positions. Post your position(s) today and be sure to stop by the Hire Me Corner (inside the Manufacturer/Supplier Council Exhibit) on Tuesday, March 28th to meet students in person.  

Students seeking employment opportunities will be stationed at tables based on where they would like to find work (not necessarily where they’re located now). Tables will be separated geographically into West, Central and East. Stop by the table that best fits your company’s location and find your next great hire.

Hired an Intern? Submit an Internship Grant Request

MCAA wants to hear about all of your mechanical contracting interns and has revised the internship grant application process to ensure program success is being rewarded and celebrated.

Part 1: MCAA members with one intern are eligible for a $1,000 grant. Companies with two or more interns may receive a $2,000 grant. One form should be filled out for each intern (even beyond two).  

Part 1 applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis and may be submitted once per calendar year, per intern.

Part 2: For companies successfully converting an intern (from their part 1 list) to a full-time new hire, a $500 gift card will be mailed to the company to present to their new hire. These new hire conversions are now unlimited, but the name of the new hire must be included on a part 1 list from an MCAA member company to be eligible. 

Part 2 applications may not be submitted until after their full-time start date.
