Rob Bradham, Vice President Public Strategies at Chattanooga Area Chamber said, "2-hundred jobs is awesome. And its a smaller piece of Volkswagen’s overall hiring. They expect to be hiring about 2-thousand people over the next couple of years." The company Aerotek will be hiring logistics and conveyance qualified team members with starting pay at 11-dollars and 50-cents an hour. Representatives with the Chattanooga Area Chamber said that it’s a huge priority of theirs to get local residents hired for these types of positions. Bradham said, "We are the economic development entity for the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton county, so we certainly have an interest in making sure that Hamilton county residents have a shot at these jobs first."
