This Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014 photo shows Jonah Devorak testing the dimensions on a high-pressure valve at Swagelok Co. in Strongsville, Ohio. Devorak was stuck in a “dead-end job” at a suburban Cleveland restaurant where he’d been washing dishes and manning the grill since he was 16. His outlook turned around after hearing about a program at Cuyahoga Community College that trains students for manufacturing jobs at a company that had openings for dozens of machine operators. He spent two months training to operate computer-controlled machines and then another two month internship that landed him a full-time job this year at Swagelok, a Cleveland-area maker of high-pressure valves and fittings.
