\r\nMeet Caiden Krueger
\r\n
| Internship Highlights | Caiden is an intern at 21st Century Equipment and also one of their employees after school. |
| What have you learned? | "I have practiced collaboration because I work with [another student]. Him and I have done a lot of projects together in the shop. Whenever there are two people that need to be working on something, it is always him and I. [Recently] we worked on a corn head together because while I greased it from the bottom, he had to watch on top to see when the grease started coming out. There's been other times when we've both serviced a combined or worked on a lot of corn heads to get them ready to go." |
| Career Exploration | Everyday I am there, I get more and more of a feeling like that is the career path I want to pursue after high school here in a few years. In fact, I am talking to Kyle right now about getting me signed up for the program to go to Milford, NE and go through the John Deere Tech School. |
A huge thank you to 21st Century Equipment for allowing this partnership to happen and our students to learn and grow.
