This morning TARUS hosted 30 students from Fitzgerald High School as part of National Manufacturing Day 2024. Students were given an overview of TARUS and broke into work groups visiting every aspect of company operations from engineering, electrical, assembly, production, fabrication, quality, and more.
TARUS and Fitzgerald students were treated with a special visit from Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel.
Students were given a variety of personalized items manufactured at TARUS, as well as a custom plaque for Fitzgerald High School commemorating the event. Students were tested on their knowledge from the tour and correct answers were awarded prizes.
"I love to see the engagement of the students as we detail our operations here at TARUS. They where genuinely interested and asked great questions. I hope some of what they saw today will inspire them as they develop their future and careers. It was a pleasure to speak to them today" stated Brad Kleinow, Director of Service at TARUS.
"I was really impressed with the caliber of students we met today. They were all very interested in our operations and asked excellent questions. I know they came away with a better understanding of manufacturing and the great career opportunities companies like TARUS can offer. At TARUS, students can earn a salary with excellent benefits right out of high school with no student loan debt. TARUS is a company that promotes from within, and students will gain in-demand skills for life" stated George Cook, VP of Sales and Marketing for TARUS.
