Woodworking Manufacturing Co-Op Program
The ConceptWorks Co-Op Program provides “real-world” work experience related to
woodworking which includes design, machining, assembly, and finishing.
The ConceptWorks High School Co-Op experience will provide you with an
opportunity to learn more about your skills, interests and strengths. If you want a
learning experience with a smaller company, where you’re not just another number,
ConceptWorks will show you how a small team can produce big results.
Our program allows for flexibility in your scheduled hours based on your academic
and extracurricular activities. We offer hours between 6am – 3:30pm, Monday
through Friday, for 9 weeks. Our Co-Op position is a paid, student work-based,
learning experience. Our facility is located less than 2 miles northwest of Howards
Grove.
Typical Materials Used at ConceptWorks: Wood (solid, plywood, OSB, MDF, particle
board), Bendi Ply, Kerfkore, Laminate / ColorCore®, Acrylic, Steel, Aluminum, Solid
