Success Story

GRAPHICS TECH STUDENT WORKING AT CCL LABEL

Have you ever asked yourself: Who prints the labels used on plastic bottles for famous personal care products like Ponds, Dove, AXE, Olay ? Well, there is a multinational company called CCL Label that leads the label printing industry and offers a wide variety of services to product manufacturers around the globe. After company officers visited our school, they invited one of our seniors, Eskarlin Cabrera - Graphics Shop, to participate in a job shadowing activity at their plant in Shelton. They were very impressed with her enthusiasm and professional demeanor. The visit went extremely well and Eskarlin was recruited as a printing apprentice. The company will provide full training (with pay) to Eskarlin to ensure she is ready to work full time as soon as she graduates.

This company offers very competitive salaries and benefits that will allow Eskarlin to develop highly specialized industry skills and opportunities for promotions. The student has secured a well paid career and has served as a great ambassador for our school. Now the company wants to interview two more seniors ! Did I mention Eskarlin is only 16 years old?

Congratulations to Eskarlin for a job well done...
