About NEMCO

NEMCO (NORTH EUGENE MANUFACTURING CO.) is a student operated manufacturing enterprise based at North Eugene High School. The focus of this program is to allow students the opportunity to apply learning and experience curriculum which relates to work and careers in manufacturing.

 

The company has a wide range of possible positions for students to apply for. Each student is hired based on their personal career interests and the skills they have to offer. Students may acquire these entry skills in classes taken here at North or by other means such as extra curricular activities or work.

 

Students are eligible in their Junior year for a mentorship with a local participating company, and during their Senior year eligible students can take advantage of a paid apprenticeship. NEMCO employees receive class credit, real work experience, and a scholarship from the NEMCO profits at graduation.

 

NEMCO is guided by several local manufacturing industries and individuals in the Eugene area. Advisory members meet three to four times per school year to review and give input on program changes and ideas.

How to Buy Products

We have always sold our products through the Lane County Home Show twice a year. Berg productions has donated the booths to the program. This has been a great way for the students to get exposure and learn to develop their company. If you are interested in purchasing a product of ours or contracting for services, send us an e-mail.
