Manufacturing Day with Ware High School
Students from Ware Jr/Sr High School will travel to Quabbin Wire & Cable Co, Sanderson MacLeod, and Flexcon. Each company will provide information on their company and guide the students through a tour of their facility. The focus will be on career opportunities available to enter the workforce upon graduation, overview of those jobs (with employees speaking with them), pay scale and advancement opportunities through effort, motivation, commitment, training, etc.
Beginning at 8:30, students will have a little over an hour at each facility with lunch hosted at Flexcon.
