Comfab Partners with DMTC to Provide Three Work-Based

Learning Experiences for Students

Machine Tool Technology completer Chad Mitchell started a co-
op opportunity with Comfab, Inc., on January 18, 2021. This is a
great opportunity for Chad as he plans to pursue a career as a
machinist when he graduates from Broome High School in May
2021. Chad was selected in 2020 as Outstanding Student of the
Year for Machine Tool Technology.

Mechanical Design program. Both of these students
will graduate from Spartanburg High School next
