I know that the company was founded in 1903 by Henry Ford, it has been ever-growing and evolving to compete worldwide for peoples custom, the company has grown so much even in my own lifetime, to keep up with customer demand they have kept at the front of the competition and always produced great products that reach out to so many people for use in everyday life. when I heard about the Ford apprenticeship, elder people I knew always said it would be a great company to work for, it would be a good life, I have been taught not only job-related skills but life skills and morals I use every day. The company has given me so much, to which I am very grateful, I hope to progress and do an even better job. in the company evolving and new technologies coming into our field of business. I had an involvement firsthand in the prototype work of Ford's first 3 cylinder engine. this engine became a pioneer in its class and went on to have awards for the engine. To see engines evolve from 4 to 3 cylinders for small vehicles and some commercials vehicles was fantastic. This engine went on to become more powerful and economic than some 4 cylinder engines.
