It’s the time of year where college seniors are busy trying to find their first job after graduation. But, at one college in Delaware County, almost every student has already landed a job before graduating.

Spending one year at a state school, Alex Whitman knew a 4-year university wasn’t for him. "When I went to West Chester that one year, I knew it wasn’t for me, with all the debt."So, Alex traded in textbooks and research papers for steam boilers and electrical turbines. He’s a graduating senior at the Williamson College of Trades, just outside Media."It was one of those things.

In fact, last year more than 200 companies from 19 states paid big money to attend Williamson’s Career Fair for the chance to recruit one of their 85 graduates."I think we realized that, during the pandemic, we were putting ourselves at risk if we can’t manufacture, if we can’t build things, if we can’t do the work ourselves," Rounds continued.
