Education has always been a core value at Morrison Container Handling Solutions. We believe in actively supporting continuing education within the community and making it an integral part of our mission.
That’s why our latest partnership with OAI (Opportunity Advancement Innovations in Workforce Development) made perfect sense. OAI is dedicated to offering training and education to underserved communities that experience higher unemployment rates and greater barriers to entering various industries. Through their support, Morrison has connected with OAI interns pursuing careers in manufacturing, two of whom have since been brought onto its team. Take a chance to meet these interns and learn more about them below.
