Bridgestone has decided to continue its partnership with Akron Public Schools for its Academy of Applied Engineering and Technology at East Community Learning Center. According to the company's Program Director Bob Lux, the partnership has been "a great success."
The worker shortage affecting many industries is also being felt by tire-maker Bridgestone Americas. That's one reason the company is renewing a partnership with Akron Public Schools as part of the district's College and Career Academies.
Since 2018, Bridgestone has supported the Academy of Applied Engineering and Technology at East Community Learning Center. Students in the program gain hands-on experience working in a functioning Firestone Complete Auto Care Center.
