On May 12, 2026, Mellott proudly celebrated the graduation of the 2026 Mellott University class during a ceremony held at our campus in Warfordsburg, PA. This year’s graduating class included Bray, Bryson, Ashlyn, Hope, and Sydney.
Investing in the Next Generation
Mellott University is Mellott’s pre-apprentice training program designed to provide local students with hands-on experience and real-world exposure across multiple areas of the company. Through classroom instruction, and on-the-job learning, students gain valuable industry knowledge while also earning college credits through Blue Ridge Community and Technical College.
The Class of 2026 also marked an important milestone for the program as Mellott University’s first co-ed class. Throughout the year, students worked alongside Mellott team members and subject matter experts to develop practical skills, explore different departments, and gain experience in a professional environment.
A Year of Growth and Achievement
Throughout the program, students participated in hands-on training and learned directly from experienced professionals across the company. The goal of Mellott University is not only to educate students about the industry, but also to help prepare them for long-term careers and future success.
Dave, Mellott’s Technical Trainer, reflected on the accomplishments of this year’s graduating class and the impact the program continues to make.
“It has been an exciting year teaching the material through our new LMS (Learning Management System) to our first co-ed class. I am proud of the hard work, growth, and dedication each student has shown throughout this program. Seeing every student graduate and accept full-time offers in different departments within our company is a true reflection of their commitment and potential.
As their instructor, it has been an honor to be part of the beginning of their journey with Mellott. I am excited for the next generation of leaders, skilled workers, and team members they are becoming. Congratulations, and I look forward to seeing the great things you will accomplish.”
Looking Ahead
One of the most exciting outcomes from this year’s program is that each graduate has accepted a full-time position within different departments across Mellott. Their transition from students to full-time team members reflects both their dedication and the success of the Mellott University program.
Mellott University continues to demonstrate the company’s commitment to workforce development, hands-on education, and investing in the future of the industry. By giving students opportunities to learn directly from experienced professionals, the program helps build strong foundations for the next generation of leaders and skilled workers.
Congratulations again to Bray, Bryson, Ashlyn, Hope, and Sydney on this outstanding achievement. We look forward to seeing all you accomplish in the years ahead!
