Educational Talent Search visits Warrick
|
|
|
Students from Harrison, North and Central High Schools in Evansville visited Warrick Operations on March 9th as part of the Educational Talent Search program designed to encourage students to further their education after high school. The students observed production work, mechanical and electrical work, in addition to technical, engineering and process control system positions.
Tedra Little, Community Coordinator for Educational Talent Search, remarked, "the students were surprised at the size of the plant and the amount of material that is recycled rather than wasted. They especially liked hearing the personal stories of the employees and how Alcoa gives people the chance to move up through apprenticeships and other educational opportunities paid for by the company. They now realize that what they are doing today can translate into a great job tomorrow."
A special thanks to Jeff France for organizing the visit and to Ed Wynn and Bob Martin for their assistance in the tour and their personal stories of why and how they furthered their education after high school.
