Excell Manufacturing Honors First Female Apprentice

In celebration of National Women's History Month, we honor
Olivia Norgan, the first female apprentice toolmaker at Excell Manufacturing.

While 90.7% of toolmakers are male, Olivia embraces the hurdles in this male-dominated field and continues to excel as an apprentice while attending Delta College. She also represents the Delta College student body as a member of the CNC Advisory Committee comprised of school administration and local business leaders. Congratulations, Olivia, on your career choice.
