Volkswagen currently has two 223,200-square-foot buildings in the supplier park adjacent to its Chattanooga plant. An engineering company was recently hired to plan for as many as four other buildings, but no construction is imminent, officials said.
Evelyn Donegan works at the Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant in Chattanooga, but the company has announced it’s planning layoffs.
On Tuesday, she showed up at MAU Workforce Solutions to apply for a job for a company that’s a supplier to the Volkswagen auto assembly plant.
“I’ve done several things,” said the Chattanooga woman, citing her background at a number of different jobs. “I believe in learning how to do various things.”
MAU, a recruiting and staffing company, was expected to interview about 100 people Tuesday for 50 jobs for a VW supplier it didn’t want to immediately identify.
