NORTH BAY – This week will see the kickoff for enrollment in “100-in-100,” an innovative program to put high school students up close with local manufacturers.
The brainchild of 101MFG, a private alliance of Northern California manufacturers, 100 Sonoma County companies will host job-shadows, five-day internships and Summer 2012 internships for 100 days, starting February, 2012.
“Once our students and manufacturers have the opportunity to learn more about each other, we intend to let nature – and the industry’s need for the next generation of highly skilled workers and engineers – take hold,” said 101MFG President, Dick Herman.
