2019 Bring your Kids to Work Day
On Thursday, April 25th, Kuehne Company NJ hosted approximately 16 children of employees at its Plant in Kearny NJ, as part of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This event allows kids to not only job shadow their parents in the workplace, including office, laboratory and manufacturing settings, but also to participate in interactive Science, Admin, and Production activities.
“We hope that the kids will get a real-world understanding of the work that Kuehne Chemical does as a company and that it will fuel a passion for the manufacturing industry,” said Viviana Mendez, Director Human Resources and organizer of the event.
