Experience is always the best teacher.
So GE Appliances, a Haier company, is providing exactly that to students who are in the manufacturing pathway program at Doss High School in Louisville.
The students in the program have expressed an interest in pursuing careers in manufacturing and are part of the Academies of Louisville initiative at Doss. The Academies model mixes career-oriented classes with math, English and other core content courses to enable students to explore high-demand fields.
Over the last three years, GE Appliances has served as a business partner for the Doss manufacturing pathway, which has grown to 124 students.
The students graduate with industry certification, which has allowed several of them to obtain full-time, entry-level positions with area manufacturers. Graduates who start with GE Appliances have access to college tuition reimbursement and career paths with business leadership opportunities.
"Through our partnership with Doss High School, we've created a program that taps into the maker movement and is a national model for educating the next generation of American manufacturing leaders," said GE Appliance COO Melanie Cook. "We want to get students and their parents excited about manufacturing careers."
