Eastman Chemical Company is currently recruiting students from West Ridge and Dobyns Bennett high schools for their Work-Based Learning program.
The company said in a report that the assignments in fire equipment and testing, metal shop fabrication, and production packaging allow students to bridge their high school learning into a high-skill career while earning $15 per hour.
Students interested in applying can contact their guidance counselors for more details. Eastman has plans to expand the program to other schools.
