Lindner partners with Purcell Marian to offer certification training to students

“Because the University of Cincinnati is not just a university in Cincinnati, we have a mandate to impact our community in a positive way. This partnership will also help build a bridge with Purcell Marian to show high school students the valuable career and educational opportunities that Lindner has to offer,” said Steven Jones, assistant professor-educator of operations, business analytics, and information systems, who will facilitate the certification process from Lindner. “I hope these students take away a greater confidence that not only can they come to UC, but they can thrive and excel here as well.”

Along with boosting students’ resumes, this certification will leave students with key analytical and statistical problem-solving skills and enhanced capabilities in process improvement.

“We are excited for the students enrolled in our manufacturing course at Purcell Marian High School to participate in this innovative partnership with UC and Professor Steven Jones,” said Lydia Backscheider, Career Initiatives Program teacher at Purcell Marian. “The objectives of this partnership align with our Career Initiatives Program at Purcell Marian, where students are inspired, engaged and supported in preparing for their future careers. Through this partnership, students will be challenged to adopt a mindset of continuous improvement, which will undoubtedly help them in their futures.”
