🎓A huge congratulations to Chris and Yadiel for powering through our first-ever Rockwell Academy of Advanced Manufacturing!

These two Graphic Packaging International employees have been balancing full-time work and advanced automation training for since June.

That means alternating two weeks on the job with two weeks of hands-on training in industrial automation, controls, motors, drives, networks and troubleshooting.

Plus, these two actually went to TSTC in Waco! Chris went for Digital Media Design and Yadi graduated from the Instrumentation program.

Hats off to these two for seeing it through. 👏⚙️

👀When your manufacturing products are designed for something as sensitive as eye care, there’s no room for contamination.

That’s why AbbVie is at The WorkSITE, as employees from their Waco facility use the space for specialized cleanroom and aseptic training.

Instructors like Louis Natal teach cleanroom design, maintenance to contamination prevention, FDA regulations and good manufacturing practices.

Now that those employees understand the process and can practice the skills, they'll take that knowledge back to the job and teach others.

We’re proud to help our industry partners like AbbVie build the specialized skills their workforce needs right here in Waco. 🛠️

🚜 Even college instructors have to become students sometimes 🎓

TSTC in Waco Automotive Technology and Auto Collision & Management instructors recently traded the classroom for the forklift course at The WorkSITE.

They came by for forklift recertification and a hands-on refresher, brushing up on the skills they need when the job calls for them.

👀There may have been a little friendly competition involved on the obstacle course as well. 🤣

Keeping skills sharp matters especially when you’re usually the one doing the teaching.

👩‍👧 Like mother, like daughter 🤗

Seeing her own daughter succeed in an ESC Region 12 and Workforce Solutions manufacturing boot camp at The WorkSITE back in June inspired Michelle Meraz to come back and learn more for herself.

“She excelled, gained so much knowledge, and feels so much more competent because of the skills that she learned in such a short period of time," Michelle says.

That experience inspired her to enroll in a free OSHA 30 training course of her own. Now she’s already thinking about how she can use those skills to help others stay safe on the job.

"I have my daughter to look out for. I want to make sure that I'm safe in anything that I do. And the more knowledge that we're able to have, the more we're able to pass that on to others," Michelle says.

For her, training isn’t just about earning a credential. It’s about building confidence, learning from others and leading by example.

"This is just my foot in the door. I'm already looking at the next program to take here."

Skills you can use. Knowledge you can share. A safer workforce starts with people like Michelle.

🏭 For our workforce, keeping the line running means more than keeping production moving. It's about family.

One of our industry partners, Cargill, sent employees put to work in at The WorkSITE recently. They're learning to troubleshoot and operate variable frequency drives (VFDs) at the plant.

Cargill processes and makes ready-to-eat deli meat like turkey and other protein.

An employee in the class, Joey, says VFDs are really important at Cargill.

“Almost every piece of machine you go to now has a drive in it. We’ve got them all over the plant.”

Those drives help keep Cargill’s production lines moving and products going out the door. And for Joey, keeping that equipment running also means keeping food on his family’s table and the bills paid.

He's also planning to take what he learns back to his team.

“Hopefully I can set one of these up and show somebody else how to do it when I get back to work.”

That’s the goal of industry training at The WorkSITE: learn it here, use it at work and pass it on. 🛠️

🏅Ethan, Jose, Mathann and Kevin from Envases have spent the last three weeks on their grind at The WorkSITE, building skills they can take straight back to the Waco Envases plant.

The group trained hands-on with bearings, belts, motors and shafts, wrapping up the program with laser alignment.

And all four officially earned their SACA Gold certifications! 👏

Instructor Jerry Wilkey said their attitude stood out from day one.

“They came in hungry for knowledge and were very engaged. They made it fun.”

Congratulations, Mathann, Ethan, Jose and Kevin! We’re excited to see you put those new skills to work. 🛠️
