“Your World Class Manufacturing course is great for
students because it shows them what is available when
they graduate. Touring Hayssen and other companies
gives them a diversity of experience. Even if some
students do not go into industry or engineering, they will
be better for gaining such knowledge. I wish that there
had been a class like yours at my high school, and I think
it would be great if every high school student had such an
opportunity.”

Shelby Bartley, Hayssen
