GREENE, N.Y. — The Raymond Corporation’s Youth Apprenticeship Program recently celebrated five graduates from the program, which offers high-school juniors and seniors a hands-on learning experience.
In collaboration with Broome-Tioga Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), students spend two years at Raymond’s headquarters and expand their knowledge in fields including engineering, finance, and manufacturing while exploring other disciplines within the company.
“Our long-standing partnership with BOCES has been vital in developing a successful Youth Apprenticeship Program,” Raymond’s Senior Director of Human Resources Maribeth Absi said. “This initiative is key to our ongoing support of STEM education and addressing workforce needs for the future. The program has been especially instrumental in helping us tackle the growing skills gap by fostering talent. Many of our apprentices continue their education with us through our cooperative education program with some eventually joining Raymond as employees.”
This year’s graduates include Alyssa Campbell, Kloden Rapp, Lincoln Youngs, and Ashton Pezzino from Greene Central School District and Brian Smith from Steon Catholic Central in Binghamton.
Raymond will welcome new apprentices to the program this September.
