“Manufacturing
is where it starts! It’s fulfilling to demonstrate
success to other women looking to follow a path in manufacturing.

The career possibilities in this industry are endless.”

“There is a lot of opportunity for young women in
metal working. It’s rewarding to see what can be formed with a machine and with CNC programming. If you like to work with your hands and minds, I would highly encourage it. Be it in vocational or trade schools, or in college, there are plenty of programs available, and work is out there in this field for women.”
