INDUSTRIES OPEN DOORS TO EDUCATORS FOR SUMMER TOURS

July 18, 2023

Seven industries and Schneck Medical Center opened their doors to 22 Jackson County educators in June giving them the opportunity to tour and engage in discussion with company personnel learning about what happens in these facilities, opportunities available, and the skill set requirements.  From their experience, educators are asked to submit a one or two page report on how they plan to bring back what they learned to their classroom.  “It was beyond comforting and reassuring to hear that employers place the same emphasis and importance on societal norms as schools do,” said Brittany Neal, BCHS Algebra/Geometry teacher.  “Not only are we trying to develop students that can focus and work efficiently, but we are shaping them to work safely and respectfully with their colleagues in the future!”  In addition to Schneck Medical Center, participating companies were Valeo, Guardian Bikes, Pet Supplies Plus, Aisin USA, Wal Mart Distribution, Aisin Drivetrain, and Seymour Engine Plant.
