Union Pacific has donated another $33,000 to Michigan Tech's Rail Transportation Program. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Union Pacific has supported the program.

The railroad was represented at the recent Fall Career Fair, one of a dozen rail and rail-related companies recruiting employees and interns. Union Pacific is looking to fill 200 positions.

"We are very excited about your Rail Transportation Program," said Sharyn Crawford-Jones, recruitment manager for Union Pacific. "We've gotten some really good hires from that program. We always get good candidates from Michigan Tech. You have great students, great academics and excellent hands-on experience."

Pasi Lautala, director of the Rail Transportation Program, said he is delighted that Union Pacific is continuing its partnership with Michigan Tech. "We have had the most rewarding relationship with Union Pacific, and we are proud that we can bring value to the company," he said. "Union Pacific's continuous commitment is essential for the growth of our program, and we are looking forward to expanding and strengthening our collaboration to yet another level."
