He has been interested in big machinery most of his life and plans to make a career driving them. Holly Geaman introduces us to Elida High School senior Tanner Layman, December's OhioMeansJobs Student Employee of the Month. Tanner Layman's love of big machinery came at a young age, helping his father with his construction business. As a senior at Elida and attending the construction equipment technology program at Apollo Career Center, Layman is working at RD Jones, excavating at their Shawnee Yard. "For 2 weeks I'm out at Apollo. I do my core classes in the morning and then I go to my lab in the afternoon. Once those two weeks are up, I go to work for RD Jones, and I work there for 2 weeks, and it's just kind of a rotation that goes back and forth until I graduate," said Tanner Layman, a senior at Elida High School and Apollo Career Center.
Our OhioMeansJobs Student Employee of the Month is a 2024 Allen East graduate who is getting his start in the skilled trades at Spallinger Millwright. Landen Poling graduated from Allen East this spring and started working at Spallinger Millwright Services in July. Through his FFA chapter and classes at school, he was introduced to welding and knew immediately that was the kind of work he wanted to do. At Spallinger, he is contracted out to large local manufacturing companies to do installation and fabrication work for their equipment.
