From the shop floor at Whittier Tech to leading quality operations in the manufacturing industry, Cameron Bennett continues to build on the skills and foundation that began in Machine Technology. A member of the Class of 2010, Cameron now serves as a Quality Manager at Ramco Machine, LLC, where precision, problem solving, and technical expertise play a critical role each day. Reflecting on his journey, Cameron shared this advice for current and future students: “Never doubt yourself. The only thing that can stop you is yourself.” Cameron also took a moment to recognize the impact of his instructors at Whittier Tech: “Special shout out to Paul Moskevitz. Without the foundation you provided me in Machine Tech, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today. You and your wife Jane are the true definition of what it means to be a teacher!” Thank you, Cameron, for sharing your story and representing the strength of Whittier Tech alumni in the workforce. #WeAreWhittierTech #WorkforceOfTomorrow

Small changes can make a big impact on the environment.

Whittier Tech’s Environmental Club is encouraging the community to participate in “No Mow May,” a conservation initiative that helps provide vital food sources for early season pollinators like bees and butterflies. By mowing less frequently and allowing native plants and flowers to grow, homeowners can help support biodiversity and create healthier habitats for pollinators throughout the spring season.
