90 days, all new hires are MECP-certified, and we have an incentive program for employees to reach the master level.” Cassity said he is on target to increase ev-
eryone’s certifications level by March 1, as well as have 100-percent ASE A6 certifications. “We’re quite dedicated to the MECP
program and the foundation of excellence for our people,” he said. µ
