LARWILL — The Whitko Career Academy’s welding and precision machining programs recently toured Red Star Contract Manufacturing, Larwill.

The tours were coordinated by the WCA and Molding Supervisor Katee Feesby and began with a welcome and presentation of Red Star’s products by General Manager Kevin Bell.

Feesby led a group of students to the sterilization and packaging area to get suited up for their tour. Metal Supervisor Matt Slusher took another group to the CNC machining department and presented current trends in the industry.

Engineering Manager Zach Baughman guided a third group through the tool and die process and injection molding processes. The tour concluded in the main foyer with a question and answer session that spurred discussion on employability and interviewing skills.

The WCA precision machining and welding programs would thank all of the individuals that helped to make these tours a success.
