Fusion Tech Participates in Manufacturing Day

/in /by

On Friday, March 27, Fusion Tech participated in the annual Manufacturing Day and Welding Competition held at Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg, Illinois. Organized as a way for current college and high school students to learn about exciting career opportunities available in the manufacturing field, the Carl Sandburg College Manufacturing Day was a prime way for Fusion Tech to continue investing in the next generation of manufacturing professionals.

A number of students visited our table, learning more about the various career opportunities available to them right here in the area. Our team was able to answer questions, hand out information, and cheer on the students as they competed in the welding competition.

Participating in the Carl Sandburg College Manufacturing Day and Welding Competition is just one way Fusion Tech invests in the next generation.

On Tuesday, February 10, Fusion Tech played host to the Midwest Entrepreneurs class at Monmouth College. Dan Bentz, General Manager at Fusion Tech, gave the class of 20 or so students a tour of our facilities, showing them our multiple shops, office areas, and design and drafting department.

The students in Professor Terrance Gabel’s class learned about Fusion Tech’s history, services, competitive advantages, and the lessons learned along the way of starting and operating a growing manufacturing company. Dan highlighted two main lessons for the students:

  • Never burn bridges as an entrepreneur
  • Grow your business by serving your current clients well and developing new clients

It was a great experience for the Monmouth College students to see our facilities and shop in action, and a great opportunity for Fusion Tech to continue investing in the next generation of manufacturing.

On Thursday, April 10, Fusion Tech played host to 26 students from Monmouth Roseville High School as part of a tour designed for the Industrial Arts class taught by Dan Livermore.

Fusion Tech General Manager Dan Bentz took the students on a tour of the Fusion Tech facilities, giving them a first-hand view of the industrial arts in action. Students were intrigued by the level and scope of the projects Fusion Tech takes on, and had a number of questions about what we do.

The facility tour isn’t the only way Fusion Tech assists the industrial arts class at Monmouth-Roseville High School. Every school year, we provide the class with scrap carbon steel for students to learn and practice their welding. These are just some ways Fusion Tech is investing in the next generation.
