About Cardinal Manufacturing
Filling the Skills Gap, One Student at a Time – Cardinal Manufacturing is a year-long two credit class which offers more than a standard classroom instruction. Students in this class gain the real life experiences of problem solving, running a business, and working in professional career roles. The application process includes creating and submitting a resume, cover letter, project portfolio, a letter of recommendation, future career plan write up and an interview with instructors. Once accepted, student participants are assigned a role that may include:
- Quoting jobs
- Ordering materials
- Manufacturing parts
- Quality control and inspections
- Shipping product
- Receiving product and materials
- Invoicing
- Customer service
- Accounting
- Marketing
- Maintaining work hours
Besides the great experience gained, the students receive a profit sharing check at the end of the school year based upon the number of hours worked and other measurement tools. Only a portion of Cardinal Manufacturing earnings are paid to students after expenses and upcoming needs are covered. Most of the money earned supports the purchase of materials, equipment and facility needs to continually grow and improve Cardinal Manufacturing.
