​HSHT Harris High School - Buffalo Rock Tour

3/23/2023

 
The students at Harris High School toured Buffalo Rock, in Columbus, Ga. They were welcomed by the Human Service Director, Deana Berger. She allowed each student to help themselves with all of the Pepsi products, which included snacks and any soft drinks of that their choice.
           
Mrs. Berger made connections between what the students have learned at their school and the skills needed at Buffalo Rock. Her power point opened with the “Life of a Pepsi” from the time the Pepsi is given life until it is consumed by a consumer. She gave detailed information on all the career opportunities that Buffalo Rock offers. Then, to make her presentation real she led the students into the plant. The students were excited to see how the forklift moved at such fast pace, and how the employees work as a team.
 
Mrs. Berger told the students the one thing that they are looking for in their company is dedication. She added that we can teach the job, but we can’t them employees’ to be present. She guaranteed an interview to any student who completed an application and submitted their resume. Berger ended the tour by introducing the plant manager and the person, who evaluates the applications and resumes. The tour and presentations were enjoyed by all.
