Natalie Morales
Krista D. Glazewski, Shanna M. Hicks · 2019
Natalie Morales started her new position at Chipex Manufacturing wondering what her first project would entail. She had gone through a short orientation after her initial hire, but did not know much about what she would actually be doing as a training specialist. All she knew so far was that she was assigned to a new project. It was her first job after having recently earned a master’s degree in instructional technology. When one of her former professors alerted her to this opportunity, Natalie jumped at the chance. Natalie had previously worked for this professor on a number of consulting jobs in manufacturing settings and felt this would be right up her alley—in a large, semiconductor organization that manufactured electronic microchips used in everything from computers to traffic lights to smartphones. Although this particular factory was in the southwest, Chipex was a large manufacturer with factories in the United States and around the world.
