New Finish, Inc., is proud to contribute to the future of Stanly County and surrounding communities through our Job Shadowing Program, an initiative aimed at helping students explore meaningful, hands-on work experiences in the industrial coatings field.
This year, we had the pleasure of hosting three bright students from Stanly County, providing them with valuable insights into a professional environment. Through programs like these, we are investing in both the next generation of skilled professionals and in our community’s economic development, fostering growth that can shape the future of local industry.
Supporting Local Economic Development
In a time when industrial and technical skills are in high demand, programs like New Finish’s Job Shadowing are vital for equipping young people with real-world skills that support our regional economy. By offering these students firsthand experience in our Stanly County facility, we’re not only providing them with an opportunity to learn about industrial coatings but also encouraging them to consider fulfilling careers in the manufacturing and coatings industries. Programs like this help create a pipeline of skilled workers ready to support businesses in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, ensuring that our local economy has the strength and talent it needs to thrive.
When we nurture young talent locally, we create a ripple effect of benefits. Students exposed to real work environments build a stronger connection with their community and gain valuable insights into the job opportunities available right in their backyard. Additionally, having a reliable workforce strengthens Stanly County’s appeal to companies considering expansion or investment, which in turn contributes to the region’s overall economic development.
Building Confidence and Fostering Personal Growth
For young men and women, getting a chance to observe seasoned professionals in a real workplace builds confidence and practical skills that can’t be fully gained from classroom learning. Our program teaches students the fundamentals of workplace communication, safety practices, teamwork, and the technical skills needed to thrive in the coatings industry. They see the value of dedication and commitment, and they learn how their contributions can play a significant role in a larger operation.
Through our mentorship, we aim to instill pride and confidence in these students. Watching skilled technicians at New Finish apply the finishing touches to automotive, recreational, and industrial parts demonstrates the care and precision required in high-quality coatings. By actively participating in the process, students experience the rewarding nature of this work and leave with a greater sense of achievement and pride.
Strengthening Community Connections
Programs like ours aren’t just about preparing students for future careers—they’re about reinforcing the connection between businesses and the communities they serve. Seeing local companies like New Finish invest in the youth of Stanly County reinforces community pride and creates a shared sense of purpose. Students who feel valued by their community are more likely to return that investment, contributing their skills and talents to strengthen the region as they embark on their careers.
At New Finish, Inc., we’re more than just a provider of industrial coatings. We’re a community partner committed to enriching the lives of those around us. We serve and deliver Class A coatings to clients in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, but our dedication extends beyond just our customers. We believe in lifting up the future workforce and fostering a culture of learning, respect, and shared success that will continue to thrive for generations to come.
The Path Forward
Our Job Shadowing Program has been an incredibly rewarding experience for both our team and our students. Watching them learn, grow, and explore their potential in the industrial coatings field has been a testament to the value of hands-on education. This program is just one of the many ways New Finish, Inc. supports the economic and social vitality of Stanly County, while continuing to lead as an ISO Certified industrial coatings provider, delivering top-quality coatings across NC, SC, and VA.
