Calling all students interested in learning more about the world of manufacturing!

The SFS High School Co-Op Program is a paid, part-time program for high school students in their senior year currently enrolled in a vocational or technology education program. Co-ops are limited to no more than 20 work hours per week and must follow their school's guidelines. This year's program will begin January 13, 2025 with a starting hourly pay rate of $14.50.

The program includes rotations through our primary manufacturing departments focused on finding a career they wish to pursue with a transition into our apprenticeship program. Through this rotation, students will receive a comprehensive introduction to the manufacturing process flow as well as our core technologies including cold forming, precision machining, tool and die, supply chain/warehouse, quality assurance, robotic assembly, process engineering, etc.
