Matrix Packaging supports the community its in by offering apprenticeships and intern opportunities for students to learn about manufacturing. During this program, they are exposed to various areas on the manufacturing floor and internal departments. Our hope is to help them understand what manufacturing is, how it contributes to the big picture, and where their passions might be. Everyone at Matrix looks forward to teaching and mentor new students and showing them what we do. By, sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm for our careers, we can help young people find theirs!

I've enjoyed working at Matrix because I get to see the machines being built, which makes my work feel meaningful. My role in training Sam involves being a daily liaison to the engineering group, teaching him our processes, CAD practices, tolerances, detailing, and dimensioning. My goal is to give him a crash course in our daily operations.

Sam impressed me during his interview, and he has proven to be a strong candidate. Real-world experience in machining and engineering is far more valuable than classroom learning. Working in an actual engineer's workplace helps me understand what I need to do as I progress in college.

Internships are crucial because they provide hands-on experience that you can't get in a classroom. This practical exposure helps interns decide if this field is right for them early on. Matrix is committed to serving our community by offering these opportunities, which benefit both the interns and our future professional endeavors. The close working environment and the chance to explore different aspects of the job are invaluable.
