Over the last few weeks, ACCO welcomed two groups of local high school students to join our NorCal and SoCal teams for a summer of immersive training and education in the skilled construction trades as part of the Heavy Metal Summer Experience (#HMSE). HMSE introduces high school students and recent graduates to careers in the building trades through hands-on projects, working alongside craft professionals, and introductions to local apprenticeship training opportunities. Throughout these sessions, the students worked with ACCO professionals to gain hands-on experience in the trades and explore the different career opportunities in sheet metal, service, and piping at our Commerce and San Leandro California fabrication facilities. ACCO's San Leandro office first became involved with HSME in 2022, this was the first year we hosted the program in both NorCal and SoCal. Last week was the end of the 3-week program as the students graduated, with special guests from the local unions. ACCO is incredibly honored to be part of this important program. We want to give a special thanks to Red Wing Shoe Co., DEWALT, and Norman S. Wright Mechanical Equipment Corporation for their donations to the program. We also want to thank all who volunteered and supported the program to make this happen! #TeamACCOES #CareerExploration
