Workforce Experience at Kennebec Technologies
By: Galen Neal
I took advantage of the opportunity to visit Kennebec Technologies (KT) in Augusta, a precision machine shop, and I definitely enjoyed my experience. I learned that KT is very detailed oriented in all aspects of their business. Customers expect perfection and KT does everything to provide that. For example, they have quality engineers and labs that inspect and ensure that all precision parts and products will meet their customers’ satisfaction. When a customer is not satisfied KT works as a team to create a solution that will improve the quality of the product. Through my experience, I was reminded of the importance of having a positive mindset, which helps maximize efficiency and production. Paying close attention to the details is important in my everyday life and will help me be a better and more successful person.

JMG has had the privilege of completing paper recycling throughout the school on a weekly basis. Students look forward to being a part of the tradition. 8th grader Colby Willey enjoys recycling because it “gets us up and moving around the school. We know it’s important. It helps take care of the environment and helps the town save money because it’s cheaper to recycle.”
