Worthington Steel

Industry Tour: Rome, NY

As part of manufacturing month sponsored by MACNY, CTE technology students from Proctor High School visited Worthington Steel in Rome, NY. Students learned about the history of the company and what they produce, participated in a hands-on activity to show the importance of communication skills, and toured the facility. Students heard from Worthington Steel employees, the Executive Vice President of MACNY, Mike Frame, and a special guest, Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon. All presenters spoke about the importance of manufacturing in the Mohawk Valley and the local manufacturing careers to ignite student interest. The students would like to thank MACNY and all the local manufacturing companies for the swag bags and the various opportunities to learn more about the manufacturing field.
