QUINCY — Automation, robotics and welding positions offer household sustaining salaries for those with the right skills, yet regional companies are struggling to find qualified candidates.

An open house is set for 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8, at JWCC’s Workforce Development Center, 2710 N. 42nd, for interested people to learn about the programs as well as tuition funding that may be available from Two Rivers for those who qualify. No appointment is necessary.
