Did you know that a number of our partners help support and facilitate internships for Project Lead The Way students? We recently asked some of this summer's interns from @Ardaghglass about how their PLTW experiences translated into success in their summer internships. #CareerAdvantage #CTE #CareerTechEd #Careers #PLTW #learning #teaching #PBLChat

What happens when classroom learning connects with real-world engineering experience? For PLTW alum, Matthew Klein, that path led from PLTW Engineering courses to two internships with @ArdaghGroup —and ultimately to a full-time career as a mechanical engineer in facilities engineering with Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America.  As an intern, Matthew gained experience across manufacturing, equipment design, facilities management, and project management.  Read the full story to see how his classroom and internship experiences became the foundation for a meaningful career—and how Ardagh Group is helping create those connections for students: bit.ly/4Aq2jBP  #CareerConnectedLearning #CTE #STEMEducation #EngineeringEducation #WorkBasedLearning
