Featured Future Ready Premium Employer: Walters Group Inc.
For more than half a century, Walters Group and Mohawk College have both flourished and grown in the Hamilton Region. As a home-grown, family-owned company, Walters is deeply engaged in the community and is equally engaged with its community college.

Mohawk graduates can be found welding and fitting in the shops, designing projects in the office, managing projects for installations around the world and keeping materials moving through the system and to the customer.
With Mohawk alumni employed in all aspects of Walters Group operations and with Walters active at all levels of engagement at Mohawk, this successful partnership ensures the college, the company and the community can all grow together.
