Perfect for Middle School, High School, and Beyond

We know that students are often beginning to make choices about their career path as early as middle school. In high school they may take courses that prepare them for their chosen path. Ultimately, before they graduate high school they will make decisions about their next steps: choosing a major in college, or choosing to enter the workforce.

The earlier we can introduce them to the remanufacturing industry, the better chance we have of them considering it as a career path.
