What Will I Do?

In this 3-Day intensive workshop a group of Nordson employees leads high school students from North County San Diego through modules relating to chemistry, biology, engineering, and design. Students create resumes, participate in mock interviews and tour the University of California, San Diego.

Toward the end of the program, students select leaders from their class who became finalists in a speech competition. The winner earns a special prize from SEMI.

On the last day, Nordson holds a graduation ceremony for the student participants and their families.
