Meet a Professional: Career in Mechanical Trades

Eagle Branch is hosting a "Meet a Professional" session on Wednesday, October 28, from 3 PM to 4 PM, and this one is all about careers in the mechanical trades. The guest is a talent pipeline leader from MacAllister Machinery, who'll be spending the hour talking through what it's actually like to work in the field.

It's not just a general overview. They'll introduce the company and walk through the day-to-day of the job, so you can get a sense of what the work looks like before you commit to it. From there, they'll lay out the different career paths available in the mechanical field, which should help if you're trying to figure out where you fit in.

One of the most practical parts of the session is the talk on how to get started. They'll cover how to get paid while you train, and how to apply skills you already have to either start a new career or move up in one you're already in. If you've been wondering how to make the jump into the trades without going broke while you learn, that's the part you'll want to pay attention to.

The session runs from 3 PM to 4 PM at Eagle Branch, located at 3905 Moller Road in Indianapolis. It's a one-hour window, so you can drop in, get your questions answered, and be out by 4.
