About The Position

The Mehoopany Work Based Learning Program is a two-year school-to-work program at P&G’s manufacturing plant in Mehoopany, Pennsylvania. P&G works with participating local school districts and the Northern Tier Industry and Education Consortium (NTIEC) to identify students. Applicants must attend a partner school and contact their school’s Guidance Counselor or Program Manager for approval. Participants enter the program after completing 10th grade and are hired at the program entry level. Apprentices receive mentoring and training in supporting production flow, meeting performance goals, and maintaining product quality. Participants work eight hours at the plant every Monday while attending school Tuesday through Friday. After the first school semester, Saturday work is required, with Sunday work optional. Each apprentice is assigned a Sponsor, and training plans are provided to the school district. Parental signature is required before employment. This is temporary employment with a predicted end point. No commitment to full-time employment is made, although participants who satisfactorily complete certain criteria may be considered for full-time positions after graduation.
