In recent years Boeing has hosted Core Plus Aerospace students as summer interns in its Everett and Renton factories . Through group activities , job shadowing , manufacturing training , and skills development , interns can prepare for college , the military or entry-level manufacturing jobs . As the need for skilled labor continues to grow , programs like Core Plus Aerospace give students the tools and experience they need to succeed right away in the workforce .
While it ’ s hard to think about a career when you are in middle school or high school , it is more important than ever . Many students , like you , may end up going to a four-year college because you are not yet certain of what you want to do with your life . For many the traditional college path is effective , with those students finding work after college in engineering , medicine , social work and many other fields .
Others get a high school diploma and go straight to work . For those who desire to quickly enter the workforce after high school , many find that going straight into manufacturing is the best way to both find a great career right away and make good money – all with less time going to school .
For those eager to enter the workforce , but still considering further education down the line , there are exciting programs available at companies like Boeing . If you chose to work for Boeing after high school and later decide that you want to go to college , the company will actually help pay for the costs of continued education through the company ’ s Learning Together Program while you continue to work and earn a paycheck from Boeing .
Whatever it is you may be currently thinking for your post-high school plans , it ’ s important for you to know that there is a great need and high demand for people to go into manufacturing careers .
