Visteon
Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket. The company employs nearly 79,000 employees in over 25 countries.

Visteon Corporation uses unique partners to recruit and train machinists and even engineers – Resource Consulting Group, a subsidiary of Manpower, Inc., and Detroit-based nonprofit, Focus Hope.

Focus Hope provides technical training for former welfare recipients and other low-income individuals including classroom instruction and on-the-job-training. Graduates become certified machinists. In addition, for those who qualify, individuals can enter a four-year college engineering program. Through Focus Hope, students have the opportunity to participate in a degreed engineering program from one of three universities while they are in training. Focus Hope pays for the tuition and provides students with a stipend.

Through Resource Consulting Group, Visteon gains access to the best and brightest students to graduate from the machinists training and the engineering degree program. Twenty-five Resource Consulting Group staff are on-site at Visteon to recruit, screen and hire. Visteon management makes the final hiring decisions, but Manpower’s Resource Consulting Group streamlines the process. Resource Consulting Group has hired approximately 2,000 professionals for Visteon in the last two years.
