The American Rosie MOVEMENT
The American Rosie MOVEMENT
Thanks! Believes strongly in supporting and keeping future generations educated in technical training and skills. We have worked with the Ben Franklin Career Center for several years on several projects including web design, Bluebird projects, and videos of Rosie interviews. We have hired several Ben Franklin students over the years because we know they have received quality training and will provide results. Many members of our board have a career in technical training. Our President, Michael Kindred, is a Principal of a Technical School in Lexington, KY, and he is a technical education advisor for KY. We have several Ben Franklin graduates on our board.
Ben Franklin was selected out of five technical training facilities. We are honored to recognize this institution as an excellent example demonstrating quality work, excellent education, and commitment to its students as part of America’s workforce.
This award, designed by Karin Tome, names Ben Franklin Career Center as the First Model Rosie the Riveter Career and Technical Center in America.
"Thanks! Plain and Simple" has done an incredible amount of work over the years, and, for new people especially, it can be a bit of a headache to wrap one's head around it all. This document should provide some answers to your questions and educate more on our mission.
These are quotes both from Rosies and those involved with the Rosie project. We help that they may gibe you some insight into both the women and this project.
