Hilcorp Alaska recently conducted a presentation for millwright students at PWSC. The presentation had numerous benefits, such as providing valuable industry knowledge and career opportunities to the students, creating networking and recruitment potential for the company, offering real-world insights and enhanced learning, providing career guidance and inspiration, and promoting community engagement and recognition.

Company presentations benefit students and fosters a strong partnership between the college and industry. During the recent presentation, Hilcorp representatives David Hart, an overhaul foreman, Joe DeRaeve, an overhaul foreman, and Mitch Wegner, a maintenance manager, shared their experiences, challenges, and success stories, providing the students with a realistic industry perspective. This insight is crucial for making informed career decisions.

During the presentation, Mitch Wegner mentioned that PWSC has the only active millwright program in the state and is recognized for producing highly skilled graduates. Hilcorp's presence and presentation provides an opportunity for the company to identify and recruit top talent directly from the program. This mutually beneficial relationship serves students seeking job placements and the company by ensuring access to skilled labor.

We sincerely thank David Hart, Joe DeRaeve, and Mitch Wegner for meeting and speaking with our students about the various job opportunities. This presentation has been a great success and has helped to strengthen the relationship between PWSC and Hilcorp.
