FORT WAYNE, IN — Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) hosted its annual “Future Franklineers Day” on July 22, welcoming more than 60 elementary, middle school, and high school students from the community for a day of learning and career exploration. The exclusive event allowed students of Franklin Electric employees to tour corporate headquarters, gain insights into the water systems industry, and learn about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers in a real-world setting.
Students participated in interactive tours that allowed them to explore the company’s state-of-the-art research, development, and testing facilities. Each attendee spent time learning how motors operate and took home a kit to build their own mini motor. Company engineers, designers, and executives were on hand to answer questions and share their expertise. The event also provided networking opportunities, allowing Franklin Electric families to build lasting connections.
Franklin Electric proudly sponsors various local programs and education-based initiatives throughout Allen County, including United Way and Junior Achievement, to support future community leaders and beyond.
