A Trine University mechanical engineering major was nominated for Work-Based Learner of the Year, part of the 18th Annual Impact Awards offered by the Work and Learn Indiana program.
Hayden Smith, from Noblesville, Indiana, has been part of the co-op program at Metal Technologies for four semesters. He currently served in the Process Engineer Co-Op at Metal Technologies Auburn.
His manager, Thad Conley, nominated Hayden for his commitment to education and on-the-job learning.
“Hayden has demonstrated his strong desire to be part of a learning environment, gaining hands-on experience while attending college full-time,” the nomination read. “(He) has been an ambassador for Metal Technologies in recruiting more talent!”
The Impact Awards were presented Feb. 22 during the Indiana Work-Based Learning Conference in Noblesville, Indiana. The awards recognize work-based learning excellence in Indiana by employers, learning supervisors, career development professionals, innovative programs or learners.
