The Weaber Career Center opened in 2020 with one goal in mind: to help educate and train potential employees for a career that provides advancement to higher wages and higher skills. The goal has enabled the company Weaber to achieve two-thirds of its goal of hiring 150 new employees in less than five months.

According to Samantha Darcas, manager of the Career Center, this success can be attributed to the central location in the city of Lebanon and the one-stop shop format, which allows people to discover employment opportunities and benefits. Darcas noted that the location, highly visible on Cumberland Street, has an eye-catching façade in a newly renovated building, designed to add to the vitality of Lebanon. Additionally, the Weaber van is a traveling billboard and may also be seen parked across the street from the Career Center.

The Weaber Career Center itself is more than just a place to apply. During the interview process, applicants watch videos about what work in the mill is like and some of the jobs available. After an applicant accepts a position, the center transforms into the onboarding training site.

The Weaber Career Center currently is offering added incentives, such as a sign-on bonus, to join the team. Current employees may also receive a bonus if they refer a candidate and the candidate accepts the position.

"Your Career Starts Here" is the slogan for the Weaber Career Center and is emblazoned throughout the new location, including on the window that welcomes potential employees inside.

The Weaber Career Center is located at 841 Cumberland St., Lebanon. For more information, visit http://www.weaber.com or call 717-867-4694.
