(Batesville, Ind.) - Batesville Tool & Die’s Internship program is soaring.

With the company feeling the need for future development and training to continue their success in the stamping and assembly business, they have expanded their technical areas of training and mentorship to the youths in our surrounding communities.

Toby Walsman (Program Coordinator) explained that my goal is very simple, “Get youths interested in manufacturing related to industry. Manufacturing is what this country was built on and will be around long after we are no longer here. I’m so happy for every one of these students for jump starting their careers. They are all doing an outstanding job in their fields, and I am extremely proud of their efforts.”

Students that are involved in this year’s internship/co-op program are Clara Black, Maxwell Richardson, Vincent Meneses, Kaiden Eckstein, Carter Wehr, and Noah Davis from Batesville High School, Zach Hoff, and Jacob Hilbert from Oldenburg Academy, Clint Nicholson from South Ripley High School, Luke Snyder from Franklin County High School, and Anahi Chavez from Rushville High School.
