UNITED GRINDING North America Signs Five Students to the 2030 Class of its Apprenticeship Program



The Apprenticeship Program at UNITED GRINDING North America is a unique way for students to receive education, a paycheck and hands-on job experience simultaneously. Now in its fifth year, the program has already received recognition from the U.S. Department of Labor and has become a 4-year pathway to a successful, fulfilling and lucrative career in American manufacturing.
Meet the Class of 2030!
We are thrilled to welcome Vanessa Cardona, Logan Jones, Juan Perez, David Smith and Ashton Young to the Apprenticeship Program. The students each have a full scholarship to Sinclair College and paid-for books and educational expenses. Over the four years, they will work toward an Associate’s Degree in Automation & Control Technology with Robotics AMCT.S.AAS (Mechatronics).
During those four years, they will also receive full-time pay and benefits from UNITED GRINDING North America, with daily mentorship and on-the-job training. Over time, their skills and confidence will grow, and the end result will be a knowledgeable manufacturing professional who knows what it takes to help a manufacturing company succeed.
Thank you to our partners!
This wonderful program would not be possible without the Apprenticeship Office of Ohio, the Office of Governor Mike DeWine, Sinclair College, the Dayton Regional Manufacturing Association, the office of US Senator Jon Husted, the European American Chamber of Commerce, the City of Miamisburg, the Warren County Career Center, Butler Tech and the Dayton Foundation.
