Sophomores in the Academy of Engineering at Patrick Henry were treated to a valuable work based learning experience at UTC Aerospace Systems last week. They spent time visiting with employees in the Finance, Supply Chain and Engineering departments learning the aspects of their individual jobs. This allowed for the students to understand the different skill sets required in running a large company. The sophomores even got to participate in a
hands-on activity that gave them insight into what is involved in supply chain management. Throughout the day the employees emphasized the essential skills of good communication and problem solving which is a powerful message when it comes from professionals in the field.
