Recessionary ‘GEM’

December 19th, 2008 at 01:24pm Michael Cermak

Despite tough economic times Woodward continues to be a leader in the community. A partnership with RVC created the Golden Eagles Manufacturing (GEM) program. The program, akin to the old Woodward Academy, couples part-time work at Woodward with full-time school at RVC. The first graduates celebrated their two years together with a ceremony in RVC’s atrium. The graduates have the option of now working full-time or continuing their studies.

Even with the current economic conditions Woodward remains committed to continuing the program and will be looking for a new set of recruits. Upcoming high school graduates would be wise to call RVC Associate Dean Rich Gocken (pronounced go-kin) at 815.921.7821 to find out more information. RVC’s website is another source, too.
