Tegra Medical received the Community Partnership Award from the Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical School in Franklin, Mass on May 31, 2023. Employees Ken Nadeau, Ronan McDermott and Brian Yanofsky attended the ceremony and accepted the award.
The relationship between Tegra Medical and Tri-County began in 2018 with two engineering students employed as co-ops. These students made a great impression, leading to Tegra Medical employing sixteen more co-op students over the following several school years, and even hiring one upon graduation.
Not even COVID 19 could put a damper on the co-ops’ work at the company. As a manufacturer of medical devices, Tegra Medical was designated as an essential business in 2020, which meant that the company was allowed to continue operations – and the students were able to continue their valuable on-the-job education.
Tegra Medical looks forward to many more years of working with Tri-County students.
