“I have nothing but positive things to say about empirical. Everyone here is super positive. We all think alike and want to solve problems. In other shops, there’s a negative culture around new guys. Here, they’re just trying to get you up to speed with all the other machinists. Everybody wants everybody to succeed here.” – Ethan, Machinist Trainee

Our Gateway Scholarship Program is the perfect way to connect in-class work to real-life experiences, even with no prior experience in the field! Noah, a current Gateway Student, began the program without prior experience and has learned so much so far.

“The people of empirical support you a lot because when you first come in, they don’t expect you to know much. They help you learn as much as they can before college – when you go to Mitchell Tech, you’ll know more than someone who doesn’t have that real-world experience.” – Noah, Gateway Student

Intelligent Solutions for the Growing Food Demand

empirical isn’t a gigantic corporation. Instead, we are a smart, tight-knit and strategic company of doers. We hire quality people who develop fulfilling careers that make a significant impact on our world. Our task is to meet the world’s ever-increasing nourishment needs within the constraints of our precious natural resources. To get there, we need to think bigger and smarter. Our experience has taught us that nothing gets done by discussion alone. We know how to do things because we do things – whether that’s producing high-quality foods or building the equipment needed for the job.

We feel good about the results because of the work and dedication that make it possible.

After all, the evidence is empirical.
