Manufacturing for me means producing a high-quality product that outlasts my customers’ expectations. My job is not just a paycheck to me—it’s an opportunity to fulfill a need for my customers. Making life better for others is a critical skill that is truly rewarding.

MY JOB DEPENDS ON IT

My job means everything to me. It enables me to put food on the table and support my family. Not only does my family depend on my job, but so do my customers. The parts I manufacture ensure the security of the people who rely on my products. The manufacturing of parts plays a vital role in the health and strength of the economy, and I am proud to be part of an industry that offers me a chance to make a difference for my customers.

MANUFACTURING MY FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT

This summer I chose a job assembling Pella windows. As a college freshman, this job will help me pay for my education. It’s also teaching me valuable lessons I will use in the future, like the value of hard work. This country was built on hard work, and I’m grateful for this opportunity to work in manufacturing— the backbone of America.
