Sanford Middle School's JMG classroom welcomed an exciting visitor last week. Billie Nelson Clark, the JMG/Bath Iron Works employment liaison, spent time with our students sharing valuable insights about careers in the trades. During the presentation, students learned about: Essential skills that employers like Bath Iron Works look for in potential employees What a day-to-day career at BIW actually looks like Hands-on experience with professional tools, including a practical exercise using tape measures (the same assessment used in BIW's actual hiring process!)
