At Bird-in-Hand Woodworks Inc., education equals success--in more ways than one.

A manufacturer of solid wood and melamine early education furniture, the Lancaster, PA based company is equally renown for its longtime advocacy of employee education.

The need to enhance worker skills through comprehensive training programs has become vitally important in recent years. As Bird-in-Hand has invested more heavily into new technology--$3 million in the past few years--the stakes have been raised to have qualified personnel to run and maintain the machines.
