The presentation also included an explanation of the soft skills employers are looking for and the benefit package available at China Instrument Parts Butters will also participate in a mock interview exercise with the students so that they know generally what to expect on real interviews. “We are excited to support any efforts to help feed the pipeline of machinists,” said Butters.
