Twenty French Technical Apprentices Explore Nelson Miller Group
On a bright, cool Wednesday in mid-December, twenty students and three teachers from a technical engineering school located in Normandy, France arrived at Nelson Miller Group to experience first-hand how a successful state-of-the-art U.S.-based plastics injection molding firm operates.
The school, known as CFAI, trains young apprentices in the fields of metal working, welding, process control, product design, equipment maintenance, tooling design and other related fields in order to groom them to play a valuable role within the production sector of the overall French economy. These apprentices ultimately move forward with full-time careers with major companies in France such as GlaxoSmithKline, Aptar and TE Connectivity.
While here at Nelson Miller Group, the students toured our Injection Molding, Value-Add Secondary Operations, Tooling and Maintenance departments, and interacted extensively with our staff for over four hours.
