We're proud to continue supporting the TMA Precision Machining Competition, now in its 34th year, as one of the most impactful events for encouraging the next generation of skilled manufacturing talent.
This years competition welcomed more than 300 entries from 20 area high schools, showcasing incredible precision machining skills and dedication from students across Illinois.
We were especially excited to see several of our own student employees participate in the event, and even more proud to celebrate one of our students earning a 1st place win! Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and the hard work behind it.
In addition to sponsoring the event, our HR team enjoyed connecting with students at our career table to share opportunities within our company, including our entry level Finisher position and the career growth paths available into machining and manufacturing.
Investing in students, manufacturing education, and future careers is something we're honored to be part of each year. We see how bright the future of manufacturing looks.
Special thanks to TMA for hosting this fantastic event, Mazak Corporation, and all the teachers mentoring and teaching the students, especially Lake Park High School's Teacher Matt Sullivan. , , ,
