About the Organization and Opportunity
Organization: We Make RI started in conjunction with top Rhode Island Manufacturers to help them fill open positions by recruiting and training potential workers.
We Make RI’s Manufacturing Exploration Program is a 108 hour paid internship for RI residents between the ages of 17-25 looking to start their full time career.
Over the course of training, participants work on real manufacturing projects from start to finish, learning to work on a production line, practice measurement, perform quality control, and complete a work order.
Orders placed in our We Make Gear shop are made by our interns. We encourage them to take ownership in the production process to learn while doing.
At the end of the program, Manufacturing Exploration interns will have mastered the following skills:
On-Time Attendance
Resume Building
Professional Oral Communication
Completing an Online Job Application
Shop Safety
Introductory Math
and Manufacturing Procedures
All the tools they need to get a full-time job!
Stipend/Incentive/Wages Earned: $15 per hour.
