SAE Visit: Placement

I am late to writing my blog, but a few weeks ago, I was able to visit a student who has a job at Agway.

During the school year, Josh works each day after school until closing at 5pm. He works some Saturdays, but works more in the summer.

Some of Josh's duties include, unloading trucks with new orders, cleaning shelves, sweeping aisle ways, stocking shelves, and loading customers cars. He is hoping to move up to a cashier or even a manager by his senior year.

The customers love the cats!

Josh works to keep everything tidy and stocked.
