SWEA enters eighth year of training future engineers
The latest cohort of Southwire Engineering Academy students listen to Theresa Fischer, Southwire training specialist who also serves as SWEA's program facilitator, during an orientation session held Aug. 10 in the Trojan Hall of Fame room. Since the fall of 2011, almost 200 Carrollton High School students have experienced the internship program.
"Many of them have gone on to launch their own engineering careers, while others have chosen different paths," said CCS Supt. Dr. Mark Albertus, who was CHS principal when the program started. "Either way, SWEA taught them important lessons in leadership, teamwork, innovation and perseverance. We are truly grateful for Southwire's continued commitment to this program and look for many more years of collaboration."
