Manufacturing Challenge!

Some SCHS 25-26 graduates were invited to attend the 2025 Manufacturing Challenge. These students embarked on a two-week program at North Georgia Technical College. During this training program, the students received introductory skills necessary to succeed in a modern manufacturing environment. Some of these skills and lessons included Forklift Certification, Precision Measuring Certification, Lock Out\Tag Out, Lean Manufacturing, Power and Hand Tools Safety, Signaling, Blueprint Reading, CPR\First Aid, Work Readiness, Interview & Resume Skills. Students visited various industries to see how their learning applied to real-world work experiences.

A mock interview is a training exercise that simulates a job interview. In other words, it is a practice interview that, as nearly as possible, resembles a genuine interview.
