Lippert Components recently hosted about 500 students for Manufacturing Day 2019. Students from Concord, Fairfield, Goshen, Pierre Moran, North Side, and Northridge Middle Schools in Indiana had the opportunity to tour LCI facilities from Oct. 1 to 16 as part of Manufacturing Day’s nationwide effort to connect with future generations and foster positive awareness around today’s manufacturing environment.
LCI Plants 4, 19, 28, 50, 58, 85, and 228W participated in this year’s Manufacturing Day. Students were given group tours and had the opportunity to listen to team member success stories, learn about career pathway options within the company’s various divisions and operations, receive educational product line information, learn about safety precautions, and observe product line mock runs.
“Manufacturing Day is a wonderful way to get students familiar with the many career paths that are available within the manufacturing field,” said April Takach, LCI’s people & talent acquisition representative. “It is always such a pleasure to partner with the Horizon Education Alliance (HEA) on this event to make a positive impact on our local area students.”
