Inside this issue:
Mark Eichenlaub, Vice President, Student, Campus and Community Services for Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) invited seven of our students to attend their Manufacturing Day. Brendan Provinchain, D’Andre
Boyd, Gabreil Mees, Isaiah Carter, Melvin D Beard, Niayahya Simmons and
Skyler Fulgium visited the Southwestern Illinois College Sam Wolf Granite
City Campus Industrial Technology Center Open House. Activities included
a tour the newly renovated SWIC manufacturing facility, demonstrations
of cutting-edge technology, a chance to try virtual welding, meeting with
local manufacturers displaying their products and capabilities, and a tour
of a local manufacturing facility. The students had a chance to talk to employers in the manufacturing industry and find out what those careers
offered. The event was presented in partnership with the IMEC - Illinois
Manufacturing Excellence Center, the Southwestern Madison County
Chamber of Commerce and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity.
Mark Eichenlaub is very
interested in developing a partnership between the St. Louis Job
Corps and SWIC to increase opportunities in
the local manufacturing
industry.

Careers Start at Job Corps
St. Louis Standard Volume 2 Issue 2 Page 2
Graduate Returns to Trade to Talk About Career Success
Marquis Epps a 2014 St. Louis Job Corps graduate returned to
the St. Louis Job Corps to talk to the students currently in his
trade. He completed Building Construction Technology and is
currently employed with AEP River Operations in Kentucky.
Marquis has now been there a year and a half and loves working on the river. He credits his career success to the
skills he learned at the St. Louis Job Corps under his trade instructor Roosevelt Robinson. While on center he
talked to the current students bout the need to be productive, follow instructions, and always, always continue
learning new things. Success is based on the eight career success standards; learn them, but more important use
them every day and your career success will come.
Always Think About Career Success
Hayden Hargett is using his High School writing assignments to further his career planning. “I wanted to learn more about my career
fields so when I have to write an essay for High School I try to focus
on information that will help my career.” It is important to start
focusing on your career field in everything you do. Remember the
way to move ahead of everyone else is to start becoming the professional today that you want to be tomorrow. Knowledge about
your career fields is the first step.

Spirit week is all about school Pride. I believe that the students will enjoy a week long activity reflecting

staff and corporate a chance to show that “Trojan Pride!”

vote for best Nerd Costume

ASVAB Answers from Page 4 Answer is D
Glazier points are small, shaped pieces of metal that are used to hold glass in a window
sash (or picture frame). They can be used by hand, or with special tools for installing lots
of them quickly and easily.
Window glazing is the actual glass part of a window. Glazing is mounted in the window
using Glazier’s Points with the assistance of glazing putty and a frame that supports the
glass and hold it in place. The act of replacing glass is known as “reglazing,” and there are
a number of reasons to reglaze a window, ranging from the need to replace broken glass to a desire to outfit
a window with more energy efficient glass.
The work of installing glazing was historically done by a glazier, a construction specialist who focused on installing glass. Glaziers are still
used for reglazing projects in which the original frame is to be retained. Otherwise, it's more common to purchase an entire window,
which can be ordered in a custom size or configuration for special
needs, and fitted into place by a general contractor. Glass companies
that stock windows will also perform installations, usually for a fee.
Historically, windows were single glazed, with a single pane of glass,
but today, there are a number of options for window glazing. Double
or triple glazed windows create more insulation, making a structure
more energy efficient by reducing heat loss through the windows.
Glass can also be tinted to keep out sunlight, coated in a clear film that increases energy efficiency, and otherwise treated to make windows more efficient. In some regions, energy efficient windows may be subsidized by utilities or the government, as an incentive to improve home efficiency.

Bradley Bextermueller is the ACE classroom Instructor . ACE is a Co-Enrollment
program with local school districts designed to give more local youth the Job
Corps advantage. These students will be attending the ACE classroom in the
north end of the academic building half the day. The other half of the day they
will be in their Career Technical Training programs preparing to start their careers. Please say hello to Brad and welcome his students to the Job Corps Family.

Center Director Redford
Salmon reports that St. Louis
Cement Masonry students
received a special guest while
replacing sidewalks in the City of
Vinita Park. Vinita Park Mayor
James McGee (pictured here), a
long-time Job Corps supporter,
visited the site to talk with students
about the project. The Vinita Park
Street Department lent the students equipment to break up old concrete
where trees had pushed through so they could remove the old sections and
replace them. The finish work was the same process students used to replace
more than 100 feet of Center walkways this summer. Stellar job, St. Louis!
ATTERBURY BRINGS DOWN THE HOUSE
“Man About Town” Jeff Byrd reports
that Atterbury once again measured up as
a good neighborhood, lending its Carpentry
students to demolish an old wooden storage
building in Johnson County Park. The
park, whichc sits next to the Center, needed
the expertise of carpenters to disassemble
the structure while saving its materials for
future use. Carpentry students took down
the building nail by nail, screw by screw and
beam by beam. The park officials were so
pleased with the project that they are currently discussing additional mutually
beneifit projects for Atterbury. Attaboy Atterbury!
SOUTHERN SAMARITANS SHINE
Insiders report that Gadsden CNA students put their
training into action during a trip to the birthplace of
Helen Keller. The students were exiting the Ivy Green
museum in Tuscumbia when they noticed an elderly man
lying on the front law. They immediately went into
"Patient Advocate" mode, as one student rushed to notify
their instructors. Once the museum staff and instructors
determined the man was not injured, students John
White and Gary Corbitt (pictured here) assisted the
man to his feet. The man's wife asked the students to
walk the man to his car and repeatedly thanked them for
their assistance, describing them as "angels that were
put in the right place at the right time." She later sent the CNA students a
beautiful note of thanks. Great work, Gadsden!
