Hytrol Hosts NEA Teachers for Jonesboro Unlimited Externship Program

November 26, 2019
No Comments

JONESBORO, Ark.--- Hytrol hosted area teachers as a part of the Jonesboro Unlimited Industry Educators Externship.

The Jonesboro Unlimited Industry Educators Externship is a three-day event in which 37 teachers tour both the Hytrol facility and other manufacturing plants in the area. The teachers participated in hands-on activities and learned about the range of potential job opportunities for their students, including degreed career paths and skilled trades.

"We're looking for ways to connect deeply with our community, to teach them more about opportunities for career advancement beyond high school. By exploring these opportunities with Northeast Arkansas educators, we're forming a mutually beneficial partnership that stimulates the transfer knowledge and resources between industry and the classroom," said Natalie Shew, Manager of Academic Outreach.

"I like to see things hands-on. I am looking for opportunities for my kids who do want to go to college and those who don't," said Jonesboro High School teacher Laquietta Steward.

Some expressed surprise at the breadth of opportunities for those in manufacturing.

"We have many kids who do not want to go to college but they also don't want to work in a factory. Throughout this program I have realized there are so many rewarding jobs at Hytrol," said Mandy McFall from Buffalo Island Central.

On the third day, the 37 teachers sat down and discussed what they learned throughout the event. Many called the event "eye-opening".

"Our students are diverse, so any exposure and knowledge we can give them about life after high school is great," said Wesley Miller, Assistant Principal of Brooklyn High.

During the event, participants were given a forum to express their needs to industry leaders so that educators are better equipped to communicate to students what the manufacturing industry offers.

"The externship is not only a great opportunity for teachers to learn about our company, but it is also a time for industry to learn what students and teachers need from us," said Shew.

Teachers expressed the need for potential internships, apprenticeships, help with curriculum planning, and communication with multiple people inside the manufacturing community.

"This week, we were able to promote one of our core values: community," said Phillip Poston, Hytrol's Director of Strategic Planning. "By helping with this program and learning from our area teachers, we now have a better understanding of what we can do to provide the best resources for their students."
