Ridgid Hosts Local High School Students as Part of Career Exploration Program
Ridgid is committed to supporting STEM education and the future manufacturing and trade leaders
ELYRIA, Ohio — Ridgid recently hosted students from Elyria Catholic High School at the brand’s nearby headquarters and manufacturing center. The program was part of the high school’s Engineering and Technology Career Trek, a week-long initiative designed to introduce students to potential career paths while broadening their understanding of Lorain County technical and manufacturing companies.
During the visit, students participated in manufacturing, product development, and software engineering activities. The students learned how to follow detailed work instructions and to assemble Ridgid wrenches on the manufacturing floor. They also witnessed the quality testing of wrenches, toured the Ridgid materials laboratory, participated in a coding exercise, and programmed a human robot to build a pyramid of cups in the least number of steps.
