Many students working their way through the education system have no idea of the career opportunities that exist in the field of manufacturing. At Laser Precision, we take a proactive approach to changing this situation. We do this by developing programs designed to build awareness and provide practical on-the-job training for candidates at the high school to college level. (See “How We Work to Fill the Skills Gap”).
Laser Precision’s summer internship program is designed to provide college students with an entry level understanding of the entire fabrication process. They receive professional work experience in the following departments: press brake, robotic welding, CNC machining, quality control and engineering. All students spend time in each of these departments on rotation, two weeks in each.

Meet the students who joined us for this summer’s program:
Sean: Texas A&M University, currently a sophomore
Ryan: University of Wisconsin-Madison, currently a freshman
Alex: Florida Institute of Technology, currently a junior
We sat down with the interns to get their impressions on working in a manufacturing environment for the first time and everything they have experienced so far.
