"R&N’s primary focus in supporting the Boot'em Up Program is to get students in the proper footwear necessary for work in a fab shop, or similar setting. In our facility, steel toed boots are required and we understand that they can be cost prohibitive for many students, which is why we support this program. This is a great way to open their eyes as to what they will eventually need in the future in this industry; there is a level of safety required around a shop and this will be a great step forward in assisting these student get a foot in the door toward the career of their choice."
