For example, we've recently trained employees to be robot operators, giving them the opportunity to increase their skill sets and mobilize their careers. Do you have an internship program? Yes.

With time I started taking on more responsibilities, eventually working my way as an operator, to a lead, and now to a supervisor. I'm grateful to be in a position where I can help others thrive. With no college experience, Tegra Medical did not just give me a job, they gave me a career."
