Working at TCI

At TCI we work hard to find the right people to work at our company. Our philosophy is if a person has the work ethic, we can train them. We’ve concluded it starts with culture and taking care of people. We treat people with respect. Pay them a fair wage and provide excellent benefits. We take new recruits on tours of our plant so they can see first-hand the positive energy and interaction that takes place on the floor. We offer paid internships and summer jobs to provide worked based learning opportunities that can lead to rewarding careers.

Here is what Workforce Development professionals are saying about TCI after meeting with us and touring our plant:

Brian Williams, Executive Director, Capital Region Workforce Development Board, “Advanced manufacturing in the Capital Region is a priority industry that provides excellent family-sustaining wages and multiple career pathways.  TCI of NY in Coeymans is a champion of embracing recruitment efforts from multiple talent pools in the region, including high school students, young adults, re-entry, females, individuals with disabilities, and others that can have these opportunities.  Providing on-the-job training and work-based ‘learn while you earn’ opportunities to new hires is the backbone of workforce development and TCI of NY embeds this into all their employees, thus building a strong, dedicated workforce.”

Katie Newcomb, Chief Economic Development Officer, Center for Economic Growth (CEG), “As the Capital Region’s economic development organization, CEG knows that workforce development is economic development. Moreover, TCI understands that workforce development is crucial to realize sustained growth as a company and as a region. TCI provides worked based learning opportunities that can lead to full time careers at their company. I was able to see this first hand during a recent visit to TCI where we toured the facility and saw how a sense of pride is building a strong culture with loyal, engaged, and empowered employees. They train and reward employees by promoting from within. For example, the president, Brian Hemlock started on a road crew servicing transformers and worked his way up to help lead the organization. I also met Sam Kostue who started as a laborer and is now plant manager.  TCI can and should serve as an example for other regional manufacturers on how to work with our high schools on training and hiring for good paying jobs.”

Mark N. Eagan, CCE - President & CEO, Capital Region Chamber, “TCI exemplifies their commitment to workforce development through their long-term partnership with Capital Region BOCES and their school district by creating work-based learning and internship opportunities for students which often turn into careers with TCI and impact our broader community. These opportunities allow students to learn about the industry, TCI’s strong culture and be able to experience first-hand how they can grow within the organization. Through action, TCI’s leadership team demonstrates its commitment to our community and to training and developing the next generation for lifelong careers.”

Adam Slagle, Principal Employment and Training Coordinator, Schenectady Connects, “Companies like TCI of NY have shown they understand how important workforce development is in a post-pandemic world. They have committed themselves to making workforce development a priority. Whether it be forming external partnerships with agencies such as the Capital Region Workforce Development Board or focusing on their own internal initiatives, TCI of NY gets it. Their efforts to create, sustain, and retain a viable workforce should be considered the Capital Region’s model approach moving forward. Where other businesses are failing to adjust to the new world of hiring and retention, TCI has been proactive and it’s nice to see these strategies paying off.”
