Hosted by Volvo Cars’ U.S. manufacturing operations in Ridgeville, South Carolina, local students are invited to tour the plant, test their technical skills, and meet with members of Volvo’s Ridgeville operations team who help assemble the Volvo cars of today – and tomorrow.
The initiative is being held in recognition of October as National Manufacturing Month and aims to introduce high school students to career opportunities in automotive manufacturing over the course of four Fridays beginning October 9. With a presence in the United States for more than 70 years, Volvo Cars is committed to investing in the people and communities that are shaping its future.
“As South Carolina’s manufacturing industry continues to grow, so does the need for a skilled workforce,” said Benjamin Van Landuyt, Interim Plant Manager at Volvo Car U.S. Operations. “Through Factory Fridays, we want students to see firsthand what it takes to assemble the cars of the future and the many different career paths available in advanced manufacturing. We hope they leave with a better understanding of the opportunities that are right here in their own community.”
