When I was in college and working part-time in retail, a fellow student told me about his job working in manufacturing. He said his employer, Alexandria Industries, was great about being flexible and working around his school schedule. I did my homework and realized I could advance my career much more quickly!
Not only did the work directly apply to my education, I was able to make more money working in manufacturing compared to retail, and could also take advantage of the company’s 100% tuition reimbursement program.
I began working as a machine operator. I tried different areas and roles before finally choosing to specialize in tooling. In a few short years, I’ve gone from being a new employee to being a lead supervisor, overseeing and ensuring our manufacturing equipment is running properly. The work at Alexandria Industries is a perfect fit for me and my career choice!”
