Textron volunteers inspire the future workforce at JA Inspire Career Exploration Fair

In December, Textron participated in Junior Achievement RI’s JA Inspire, an in-person career exploration fair for 5,600+ 8th grade students to learn about different educational pathways, career opportunities and skills that will support their futures. 30+ volunteers including finance professionals, IT analysts, HR generalists, legal specialists, and executive assistants, represented the various functions from our world headquarters in Providence, RI. This was a great opportunity to show up in our community and educate students about careers in manufacturing, STEM and business. Let’s hear from some of our volunteers about the event!
