"We need high-quality, dependable workers!” That’s the message that Celina Tri Star CBI students heard loud and clear from the most recent guests to the CBI classroom. That need is what prompted Reynolds & Reynolds Personnel Director Dennis Hirt, two local Reynolds managers, and two additional corporate recruiters from Dayton to visit the class on Thursday. They described the wide range of opportunities for local workers that abound at the Reynolds & Reynolds plant in Celina.

Students listened intently as Dennis Hirt, Marie Weitzel, and Julie Roth described career paths and opportunities, employee benefits, and the increased demand for good workers. Like so many local companies, Reynolds & Reynolds is finding that qualified, hard-working employees are harder and harder to find, which is why High-quality young people, such as Tri Star CBI students are more in demand than ever.
