Thank you to Thompson Solutions in Sioux City for allowing this group of students to learn about the summer job opportunities, apprenticeships, and life long careers that they have to offer! They were even kind enough to show us around the shops and get a first hand look at the machines/robots that they use on a day to day basis!
