Shannon High School senior Tyrek Berghuis has been selected for a paid internship program this semester at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi (TMMMS) in Blue Springs.
Shannon High Career Coach Dee Coleman says Tyrek is among just a handful of other area students chosen for the Creating Your Future program at Toyota.
Tyrek will spend five weeks at ICC Belden, completing the Manufacturing Skills Basic Certification. This includes basic math and metric, OSHA, precision measurement, and other skills. From there, he will have 10 weeks at Toyota to experience company orientation and time on the production floor that includes stamping, body welding, paint, and assembly.
We wish Tyrek the best!
