Magnetika - GARDENA
Workforce History:
Magnetika Inc., is a designer and manufacturer of transformers, inductors and custom magnetic components. As such, procuring qualified and skilled workers has often been a challenge for the Gardena-based company. Facing a dilemma, company representatives reached out to the Gardena for assistance.
In order to maintain their contract with a large aerospace company, and keep several of their employees from being laid off, Magnetika Inc. needed to train employees in a specialist X-Ray system.
SBWIB Partnership:
One-Stop staff located a Training Provider on our Intrastate Training Resource and Information Network (I-TRAIN) that was not only able to offer the needed certification, but was available to do it on-site. With one visit, the employees were certified.
Outcome and Benefits:
Magnetika Inc. was delighted that they were able to keep several employees while maintaining the criteria necessary to keep their contract and ensure their continued viability within the marketplace.
