Signicast and Second Chance Join in Future Workforce Development


Hartford, WI - Signicast Investment Castings, a world-class provider of commercial investment castings and Second Chance Partners for Education have joined forces to help high school students earn a high school diploma while gaining valuable work experience and skills.

The Second Chance Program partners with school districts and private industry to create an innovative manufacturing youth apprenticeship program. Students receive accredited classroom instruction and paid, on-the-job training. Signicast is encouraging students who may be feeling a little lost in high school to see that there are good opportunities out there. "Many manufacturing companies are looking for skilled employees - we are molding our own," says Fritz Marston, Signicast's Human Resource Manager.

Signicast has had great success since collaborating with Second Chance and is currently training its third student. With Signicast's continued growth and expansion, the company is proud to take the lead in helping Second Chance in the Hartford area. And as Signicast can attest, Second Chance does make a difference - in the lives of the teenagers in the program and the development of the local workforce.
