Comments from Return-to-Work
“The experience was awesome...” (Industrial Tech Department
Chair with Kawasaki)
“There is also a gap between parents’ perception of what is
essential to their children’s success in the workplace and
what they perceive as ‘success’ in education.” (Guidance
Counselor with Goodyear)
Return-to-Work
Comments from Return-to-Work
“Although people are involved in all areas, a surprising
percentage of the work is done with robotics. The level of
mechanized processes is very impressive.” (English
teacher with Cargill)
“…Too often kids, and parents, think that they have to get a 4
year college degree, but in reality there are some excellent
employment opportunities for kids willing to just get some
specialized training in various technical fields, training that
is available at a fraction of the cost of a four year degree.”
