A lot can happen in eight years. Just ask Cory Molineaux. During his career at Gentex, he not only broadened his skillset through various positions in operations, but also learned timing isn’t everything when advancing your education.
While working as a production trainer, several managers approached Corey and encouraged him to continue his studies. Thanks to their motivation and support, he started exploring the Gentex Tuition Reimbursement program.
“I kept making excuses for not going back to school, even though plenty of people told me I should,” he said. “The one piece of advice that stuck with me while I was exploring my options was when someone told me, ‘There will never be a ‘right time’ to do things in life, you just need to do them.’”
With encouragement from those around him, and help from the tuition reimbursement program, Cory applied to a lean manufacturing program at Ferris State University. It helped to prepare him for the Group Leader position he holds today.
“Going back to school was one of the best decisions of my life, I just wish I’d done it sooner,” he said. “The tuition reimbursement program was very easy to do, and I recommend it to my Gentex coworkers all the time.”
