Members of the Chamber’s Workforce Development Task Force returned to classrooms to introduce students to the excellent career opportunities in the trades and manufacturing fields. Representatives from ATI Specialty Materials, Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Plastics Division and UCHRA took over classes at Cuthbertson and Piedmont Middle Schools in February, and March. They shared hands-on presentations about the wide variety of career opportunities at their organizations.
Along with introducing students to career options before they reach high school, this program helps them become aware of and develop the soft skills employers are looking for. Students were engaged in the presentations, and shared rave reviews of the presenters.
