Ridgid is a supporter of local programs and education-based initiatives throughout Lorain County, including the Elyria school makerspaces that reinforce STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning.
The Ridgid Experience is designed to celebrate the trades and continues to grow in popularity, a press release from the company said. The all-expenses-paid trip is in its eighth year.
The Ridgid Experience, the brand’s signature event, gives select trades workers an all-expenses-paid, three-day trip that features hands-on factory experiences, fun, and camaraderie, a press release from Ridgid said.
Ridgid has had a manufacturing presence in Ohio since the company was founded in 1923. The 27-acre complex in Elyria is the world headquarters for the brand’s operation and the company’s hub for innovation.
We Love STEM Day is designed to expose students to the roles that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) play in their everyday lives and, potentially, in their future careers, the company said.
RIDGID recently hosted their fifth annual RIDGID Experience trip, a VIP event that invites select members of the skilled trades to gather for fun, camaraderie, and hands-on experiences.
