A signing ceremony was held today for Griffin High School Seniors Jahlani Harris and Jonathan Lopez who signed their contracts to begin their employment with Caterpillar Inc.
This year GSCS collaborated with Caterpillar Inc. on a pilot program, Train, Learn, Grow. GRCCA worked with SCTC and Caterpillar to support manufacturing students in gaining valuable internship experiences at Caterpillar. Caterpillar opened its doors to two motivated and ambitious students, Jahlani and Jonathan, from GRCCA.
These students were able to work in multiple areas based on their dual enrollment experience with GRCCA in partnership with SCTC Instructor Don Rogers. The experience was successful for both Caterpillar and the students. Caterpillar hired both students to start working full-time this summer.
Caterpillar is excited to offer five students with this opportunity next year.
A number of Caterpillar executives attended the ceremony, including Jahlani and Jonathan’s mentors Eric Kersey and John Sunil.
Attendees included:
Griffin Mayor Doug Hollberg
Representatives Beth Camp and Karen Mathiak
Griffin Spalding Development Authority Executive Director David Luckie
SCTC President Dr. Irvin Clark
SCTC Dean Drew Todd
GSCS Superintendent Dr. Keith Simmons
GSCS Senior Cabinet Members
