Career Center Success

"We have found success hiring Whitewater Career Center students and placing them in our apprenticeship program.

The Career Center is willing to listen to employers and understands what students need to know to be successful. Nixon Tool is grateful to have Whitewater Career Center in our community.”

JaLisa Fowler, Parent of a Precision Machine Technology Student from Connersville High School

"Not only do your students have the technical skills to step in, they are prepared to work in a manufacturing environment. They come to work every day, on time, and are able to communicate well. We work with three other programs in the tri-state area and rate Whitewater Career Center the highest...by far.”

Robin Rutschilling, Clippard
