The shelves are stocked, and once again, Fox Valley Technical College is grateful to community partner J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc for a generous donation of SAFEGEAR® personal protection equipment (PPE).
This latest contribution builds on an initial gift and includes co-branded jackets, vests and safety glasses – adding about 25% more gear to fill the gaps in frequently used items.
J.J. Keller, a Neenah-based leader in safety and compliance products, first partnered with FVTC in 2023 to provide students with essential PPE for hands-on training in agriculture, manufacturing and transportation programs.
“J.J. Keller’s continued support through their SAFEGEAR PPE donations has made a meaningful impact on our students,” says Jennifer McIntosh, associate dean of Agriculture, Manufacturing and Engineering Technologies. “By providing essential safety items, they’ve helped reduce out-of-pocket costs for students.”
Students in transportation-related programs are often outside wearing high-visibility vests, jackets and gloves. Agriculture students often rely on wearing the safety gear while harvesting crops in the fall.
