Raymond Continues to Support Future of Manufacturing with Youth Apprenticeship Program
The Youth Apprenticeship Program, coordinated through BOCES, is part of The Raymond Corporation’s commitment to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, helping encourage the future of manufacturing.
GREENE, N.Y., July 27, 2016 — The Youth Apprenticeship Program, coordinated through BOCES, is part of The Raymond Corporation’s commitment to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, helping encourage the future of manufacturing. The program allows junior and senior high school students to explore multiple career options in the material handling industry. It provides a firsthand look at the intricacies of manufacturing, engineering and other careers to help encourage students in their career pursuits.
The Raymond Corporation recognized three high school seniors from Greene High School who spent two years contributing to Raymond’s Youth Apprenticeship Program at its headquarters in Greene, N.Y. this past May 2016. The apprenticeship program at Raymond allowed the students, Kurt Hendershott, Tyler VanOrden and Taylor Wahlers, to experience what careers are available in the manufacturing industry. Student apprentices shared the projects they participated in and the results that were achieved. They also discussed the skills acquired as a result of the program, highlighting increased knowledge related to areas of engineering, procurement, leasing and employee training.
Raymond welcomes three new Greene High School juniors to the apprenticeship program this September 2016—Coy Austin, Dominic Williams and Gray Reid. Held in conjunction with the Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) and the Greene School District in New York State, the apprenticeship program has welcomed, on average, three students per year since 1991.
