Background:
Blenko Glass is a leader in the design and production of handcrafted glass, and has an exciting opportunity for an Apprentice Glassworker at our Milton, WV factory. The primary objective in this role is to learn and understand the glass making processes and how to work safely with other production workers around you. This position is an opportunity for a motivated individual to grow as a professional in the Glassblowing trade in a fast-paced environment.
This is a competitive and performance-based position - you must demonstrate your mastery of skills before an offer of permanent employment or promotions take place. Your performance and work attitude will be evaluated daily during the first 90 days of training to ensure your skills match our expectations.
The goal of your time at Blenko is to master as many glassworking skills as possible, as quickly as possible, with the expectation that one day you will become a master Glassblower or Finisher. While it takes many years to become a master glassworker, this is an opportunity for a career in glassmaking that you can retire from. You will have the opportunity to work with masters of the glassblowing craft with over 40 years of experience, and you will be expected to learn as much as possible from them during your time here.
After orientation and safety training, you will be placed in production and trained to do a specific role as part of a small team. Each member of the team will be expected to quickly learn and master the skills demonstrated to them, and will rotate through multiple positions every day for the duration of training so that you can gain a full knowledge of the apprenticeship program at Blenko.
