that,” Gott said. “You need to communicate effectively on each project.” Senior HR Director at CCG John Behrend said it is good to see young people interested in manufacturing. Behrend appreciates the curiosity of the students, sharing they are always “asking questions, being curious about things and how they work, and just being willing to do whatever’s needed to work on the team.” Working for CCG serves as a stress reliever for Gott as he navigates new financial responsibilities. Both work and school are very understanding and acknowledge the importance of both opportunities. “Before, in my life, I felt like I wasn’t set up to be successful, and now, with this opportunity, I can be successful.” Gott shared he feels comfortable working in the manufacturing industry. “Working in this program and for these companies makes me feel more at ease and less stressed because they are making it a lot easier for me,” Gott said.
Gott recommends the OKC FAME program to any student who enjoys problem solving and critical thinking, and there is plenty of room for more students to partake in the program. “One aspect we’re looking at now is how do we grow this program to get more students,” Behrend said. “It’s a really good career path because, as an engineering tech, you can try different aspects of engineering. And, as a manufacturer, we have all aspects of engineering, whether it’s design, sustaining, or new product development.”
