Union City, Tenn.–Eight individuals at the Obion County Correctional Complex recently completed a 10-day Manufacturing Training Boot Camp for Entry Level Workers with the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services.
Participants in the program were taught workplace skills including effective communication, critical thinking, how to interpret engineering prints, use a variety of tools like calipers, gauge blocks, and comparators, concepts of the 5S system, and they each obtained an OSHA 10 card.
Pictured with the participants are Debra Snow, Resource Consultant and Trainer with UTCIS, Obion Co Sheriff’s Office Programs Manager Jason Klutts, and UTCIS Manufacturing Consultant Andrew Deakins.
