College graduates, new to Ford Motor Company, often comment on the comparative youth of many of our top executives. The example of these men in key positions is evidence that being young is no handicap at Ford to those who possess ability and ambition. In fact, new employes can expect challenging assignments while still participating in our College Graduate Program. This means an opportunity to demonstrate special skills and initiative while still learning the practical, day-to day aspects of the business. Consider the experi ence of Jim Weston, who has been with Ford Motor Company for three years. Jim came to Ford in February, 1963. His first assignment was in marketing analysis where his principal job was evaluating present and potential dealer locations. For a time, he also gained experience in the actual pur chasing of dealer locations. Later, an assignment forecasting sales and market potential with Ford Division’s Truck Sales Programming Depart ment gave him the background he needed to qualify for his present position. His job today? Only three years out of college, Jim is now a senior financial analyst in Ford Division’s Business Management Department. Jim Weston’s experience is not unusual.
