High school juniors and seniors in southeast Michigan who are interested in skill trade careers can now apply for the BASF TECH Academy sponsored by BASF Corporation. This week-long summer program will run from June 19 to June 23, 2023, at the Wayne County Community College District’s Downriver Campus located at 21000 Northline Road, Taylor, MI, 48180.
During TECH Academy, students will combine morning classroom activities with afternoon visits to a wide variety of company workplaces to learn first-hand about technical careers and the education necessary for those jobs including manufacturing, robotics, auto, lab operations, and first responders.
“BASF’s TECH Academy provides a unique opportunity for curious teens to engage with professionals to learn about skilled trades,” said Joseph Dellamorte, BASF Site Manager in Wyandotte. “We hope this opens up a new avenue for students to learn about a technical career path outside of the standard four-year degree program.”
