DeWys University On the Job Training
DeWys University is our own program developed to sustain our business through on the job training. As a manufacturer in Michigan, we need to create the talent required to keep up with our growth.
The DeWys University curriculum is based on both theory and practice. Not only do students get to understand DeWys Manufacturing, they also get on the job training with a certified trainer for the area in which they have applied. It’s like a manufacturing trade school.
Hands on training lasts approximately 6 weeks, then the student gets incorporated into a production team where he or she will continue to be observed for another 6 weeks. This approach to manufacturing jobs training allows students to fully understand what it takes to be a successful team member at DeWys Manufacturing.
