Unsure of what he wanted to do in life when he first came to 窪蹋勛圖厙, it was the hands-on learning experiences casting metals, machining and learning to weld that sparked something in Dexter Shreve. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Technology and a minor in innovation from 窪蹋勛圖厙 in 2013, Shreve says those hands-on skills now give him confidence as a Cleveland business owner.
Whether it was a company that did fabrication, whether it was a company that did machining or plastic injection molding, those were all types of things that we had touched on in my education, which was enough that I felt confident talking about it and being around it once I was looking at companies to purchase, Shreve said.
Here, Shreve, co-owner of Day Piston Co., talks to 窪蹋勛圖厙 Today about how hands-on learning in his degree program helped him become a successful business leader.
