In manufacturing companies, there’s more going on behind the scenes than you may realize.

By experiencing various aspects of manufacturing, you’ll be able to identify and select a fulfilling career path. Which corridor will you choose?
Corridor #1. Engineering or Design
- Designer – Every day is different in this creative career. Projects range from labels to touch-screen panels. Think of yourself as a visual problem solver!
- Digital Artist – Master software programs to design company logos and even create food & beverage package designs. Thanks to exciting new trends, the sky’s the limit for creative artists!
- Pre-Press Technician – The printing process has three stages: pre-press, press, and finishing. In this job, you manage the critical steps to prepare graphic files for printing.
- Mechanical Engineer – Let’s say a customer needs a keypad for a new medical diagnostic machine. Key steps are creating the engineering design and working with manufacturing to make a prototype.
Corridor #2. Production Management
- Team Leader or Supervisor – “Leaders are not born, they’re made.” That’s why mentors guide these key employees to polish their people skills, so they can successfully lead their teams. Team Leaders work side-by-side with other employees to complete projects accurately and on time. Supervisors have additional responsibilities such as hiring employees.
- Quality Engineer – If you have an eye for detail, this may be the perfect job for you! You’ll check every facet of a completed project to ensure it meets all specifications.
- Supply Chain Manager – Our vendors supply all types of raw materials, which we convert into various products from simple labels to high-tech membrane switches. Managing the supply chain involves key steps throughout the process, from start to finish.
Corridor #3. Business Management
- Sales – Are you good at solving problems? Often, customers need guidance to get started. Our sales team is 100% focused on meeting customer needs.
- Customer Service – You’re the first person customers meet when they call. And every day is different! You can take orders or direct our customers to sales, engineering, or design.
- Marketing – Join this team to spread the word about our quality products. Activities include direct mail marketing, tradeshows, online advertising, social media marketing, and helping the sales team close deals.
- Accounting – Good at math? Good with details? If so, it all adds up – this could be the “unequaled” career path for you!
- Buyer – A key task is purchasing raw materials. In addition, you may negotiate prices with vendors and control inventory.
